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
