27:1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not
what a day may bring forth.
27:2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a
stranger, and not thine own lips.
27:3 A stone [is] heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's
wrath [is] heavier than them both.
27:4 Wrath [is] cruel, and anger [is] outrageous; but who
[is] able to stand before envy?
27:5 Open rebuke [is] better than secret love.
27:6 Faithful [are] the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of
an enemy [are] deceitful.
27:7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry
soul every bitter thing is sweet.
27:8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so [is] a man
that wandereth from his place.
27:9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so [doth] the
sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
27:10 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.
27:11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may
answer him that reproacheth me.
27:12 A prudent [man] foreseeth the evil, [and] hideth
himself; [but] the simple pass on, [and] are punished.
27:13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and
take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
27:14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising
early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
27:15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a
contentious woman are alike.
27:16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment
of his right hand, [which] bewrayeth [itself].
27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the
countenance of his friend.
27:18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof:
so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
27:19 As in water face [answereth] to face, so the heart of
man to man.
27:20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man
are never satisfied.
27:21 [As] the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for
gold; so [is] a man to his praise.
27:22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among
wheat with a pestle, [yet] will not his foolishness depart from
him.
27:23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, [and]
look well to thy herds.
27:24 For riches [are] not for ever: and doth the crown
[endure] to every generation?
27:25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass showeth itself,
and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
27:26 The lambs [are] for thy clothing, and the goats [are]
the price of the field.
27:27 And [thou shalt have] goats' milk enough for thy food,
for the food of thy household, and [for] the maintenance for
thy maidens.
