Proverbs Chapter 27 (NASB)
undefined
Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
undefined
Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.
undefined
A stone is heavy and the sand weighty, But the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them.
undefined
Wrath is fierce and anger is a flood, But who can stand before jealousy?
undefined
Better is open rebuke Than love that is concealed.
undefined
Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.
undefined
A sated man loathes honey, But to a famished man any bitter thing is sweet.
undefined
Like a bird that wanders from her nest, So is a man who wanders from his home.
undefined
Oil and perfume make the heart glad, So a man's counsel is sweet to his friend.
undefined
Do not forsake your own friend or your father's friend, And do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity; Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away.
undefined
Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, That I may reply to him who reproaches me.
undefined
A prudent man sees evil [and] hides himself, The naive proceed [and] pay the penalty.
undefined
Take his garment when he becomes surety for a stranger; And for an adulterous woman hold him in pledge.
undefined
He who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning, It will be reckoned a curse to him.
undefined
A constant dripping on a day of steady rain And a contentious woman are alike;
undefined
He who would restrain her restrains the wind, And grasps oil with his right hand.
undefined
Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another.
undefined
He who tends the fig tree will eat its fruit, And he who cares for his master will be honored.
undefined
As in water face [reflects] face, So the heart of man [reflects] man.
undefined
Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, Nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied.
undefined
The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold, And each [is tested] by the praise accorded him.
undefined
Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, [Yet] his foolishness will not depart from him.
undefined
Know well the condition of your flocks, [And] pay attention to your herds;
undefined
For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown [endure] to all generations.
undefined
[When] the grass disappears, the new growth is seen, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,
undefined
The lambs [will be] for your clothing, And the goats [will bring] the price of a field,
undefined
And [there will be] goats' milk enough for your food, For the food of your household, And sustenance for your maidens.
