| Proverbs 27: (ASV) |
| 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 vexation is heavier than they both. |
| 4) Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; But who is able to stand before jealousy? |
| 5) Better is open rebuke Than love that is hidden. |
| 6) Faithful are the wounds of a friend; But the kisses of an enemy are profuse. |
| 7) The full soul loatheth a 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) Oil and perfume rejoice the heart; So doth the sweetness of a man's friend that cometh of hearty counsel. |
| 10) Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; And go not to thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: Better is a neighbor 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 seeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it. |
| 13) Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; And hold him in pledge that is surety for a foreign 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) He that would restrain her restraineth the wind; And his right hand encountereth oil. |
| 17) Iron sharpeneth iron; So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. |
| 18) Whoso keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit thereof; And he that regardeth his master shall be honored. |
| 19) As in water face answereth to face, So the heart of man to man. |
| 20) Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; And the eyes of man are never satisfied. |
| 21) The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; And a man is tried by his praise. |
| 22) Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with bruised grain, 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 unto all generations? |
| 25) The hay is carried, and the tender grass showeth itself, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in. |
| 26) The lambs are for thy clothing, And the goats are the price of the field; |
| 27) And there will be goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, And maintenance for thy maidens. |
