Chapter 27 | |
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. |
