Proverbs 27


Chapters:



1:   Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2:   Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3:   A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
4:   Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
5:   Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6:   Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7:   The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8:   As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
9:   Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
10:   Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
11:   My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
12:   A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
13:   Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
14:   He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15:   A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
16:   Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
17:   Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18:   Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
19:   As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
20:   Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21:   As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
22:   Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
23:   Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
24:   For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
25:   The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
26:   The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
27:   And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
