Proverbs 25

These are more proverbs by Solomon that were compiled during the reign of King Hezekiah. A lot of these in chapter 25 deal with social interactions, in particular with those of higher rank and prestige (king, nobles) and your neighbors. It contains a smattering of political/ administrative advice and cautions against eating too much.

V. 1 - glory of God to conceal a matter - it reminds me of Christ's parables.

V. 5 - removal of wicked officials from a king's reign will establish the kingdom in righteousness. In effect, this warns against having administrators that can be bribed.

V. 6-7 - it is better to be humble before the king's presence and let the king invite you up before his nobles than to humiliate you before the nobles. This reminds me of some of the sayings of Christ.
