V.1 Boast 1984-101 not thyself of to morrow; 3117 4279 for thou knowest 3045-4 not what a day 3117 may bring forth. 3205-4

27:2 Let another man 2114-5 praise 1984-17 thee, and not thine own mouth; 6310 a stranger, 5237 and not thine own lips. 8193

27:3 A stone 68 [is] heavy, 3514 and the sand 2344 weighty; 5192 but a fool's 191 wrath 3708 [is] heavier 3515 than them both. 8147

27:4 Wrath 2534 [is] cruel, 395 and anger 639 [is] outrageous; 7858 but who [is] able to stand 5975-4 before 6440 envy? 7068

27:5 Open 1540-30 rebuke 8433 [is] better 2896 than secret 5641-30 love. 160

27:6 Faithful 539-12 [are] the wounds 6482 of a friend; 157-6 but the kisses 5390 of an enemy 8130-6 [are] deceitful. 6280- 12

27:7 The full 7649 soul 5315 loatheth 947-4 an honeycomb; 5317 but to the hungry 7457 soul 5315 every bitter 4751 thing is sweet. 4966

27:8 As a bird 6833 that wandereth 5074-6 from her nest, 7064 so [is] a man 376 that wandereth 5074-6 from his place. 4725

27:9 Ointment 8081 and perfume 7004 rejoice 8055-17 the heart: 3820 so [doth] the sweetness 4986 of a man's friend 7453 by hearty 5315 counsel. 6098

27:10 Thine own friend, 7453 and thy father's 1 friend, 7453 forsake 5800-4 not; neither go 935-4 into thy brother's 251 house 1004 in the day 3117 of thy calamity: 343 [for] better 2896 [is] a neighbour 7934 [that is] near 7138 than a brother 251 far off. 7350

27:11 My son, 1121 be wise, 2449-3 and make my heart 3820 glad, 8055-16 that I may answer 7725-55 1697 him that reproacheth 2778-6 me.

27:12 A prudent 6175 [man] foreseeth 7200-1 the evil, 7451 [and] hideth 5641-8 himself; [but] the simple 6612 pass on, 5674-1 [and] are punished. 6064-8

27:13 Take 3947-3 his garment 899 that is surety 6148-1 for a stranger, 2114-5 and take a pledge 2254-3 of him for a strange 5237 woman.

27:14 He that blesseth 1288-18 his friend 7453 with a loud 1419 voice, 6963 rising early 7925-53 in the morning, 1242 it shall be counted 2803-11 a curse 7045 to him.

27:15 A continual 2956-6 dropping 1812 in a very rainy 5464 day 3117 and a contentious 4079|4066-k woman 802 are alike. 7737-13

27:16 Whosoever hideth 6845-6 her hideth 6845-1 the wind, 7307 and the ointment 8081 of his right hand, 3225 [which] bewrayeth 7121-4 [itself].

27:17 Iron 1270 sharpeneth 2300-4 iron; 1270 so a man 376 sharpeneth 2300-55 the countenance 6440 of his friend. 7453

27:18 Whoso keepeth 5341-6 the fig tree 8384 shall eat 398-4 the fruit 6529 thereof: so he that waiteth 8104-6 on his master 113 shall be honoured. 3513-29

27:19 As in water 4325 face 6440 [answereth] to face, 6440 so the heart 3820 of man 120 to man. 120

27:20 Hell 7585 and destruction 11|10-k are never 3808 full; 7646-4 so the eyes 5869 of man 120 are never satisfied. 7646- 4

27:21 [As] the fining pot 4715 for silver, 3701 and the furnace 3564 for gold; 2091 so [is] a man 376 to 6310 his praise. 4110

27:22 Though thou shouldest bray 3806-4 a fool 191 in a mortar 4388 among 8432 wheat 7383 with a pestle, 5940 [yet] will not his foolishness 200 depart 5493-4 from him.

27:23 Be thou diligent 3045-4 to know 3045-2 the state 6440 of thy flocks, 6629 [and] look 7896-3 well 3820 to thy herds. 5739

27:24 For riches 2633 [are] not for ever: 5769 and doth the crown 5145 [endure] to every 1755 generation? 1755

27:25 The hay 2682 appeareth, 1540-1 and the tender grass 1877 sheweth 7200-8 itself, and herbs 6212 of the mountains 2022 are gathered. 622-8

27:26 The lambs 3532 [are] for thy clothing, 3830 and the goats 6260 [are] the price 4242 of the field. 7704
