Book 28 : KETUVIM - PROVERBS - Chapter 027

27:001

Boast not thyself of to-morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth

27:002

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips

27:003

A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's vexation is heavier than they both

27:004

Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy

27:005

Better is open rebuke than love that is hidden

27:006

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are importunate

27:007

The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet

27:008

As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place

27:009

Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart; so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel

27:010

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity; better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off

27:011

My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that taunteth me

27:012

A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the thoughtless pass on, and are punished

27:013

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; and hold him in pledge that is surety for an alien woman

27:014

He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him

27:015

A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike

27:016

He that would hide her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand betrayeth itself

27:017

Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend

27:018

Whoso keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit thereof; and he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured

27:019

As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man

27:020

The nether-world and Destruction are never satiated; so the eyes of man are never satiated

27:021

The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, and a man is tried by his praise

27:022

Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar with a pestle among groats, yet will not his foolishness depart from him

27:023

Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds

27:024

For riches are not for ever; and doth the crown endure unto all generations

27:025

When the hay is mown, and the tender grass showeth itself, and the herbs of the mountains are gathered in

27:026

The lambs will be for thy clothing, and the goats the price for a field

27:027

And there will be goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household; and maintenance for thy maidens
