    Proverbs 27
    • 1   Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.
    • 2   Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
    • 3   A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
    • 4   Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
    • 5   Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
    • 6   Faithful are the wounds of a friend; although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
    • 7   A full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.
    • 8   As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.
    • 9   Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.
    • 10   Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend. Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster: better is a neighbor who is near than a distant brother.
    • 11   Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.
    • 12   A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
    • 13   Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman!
    • 14   He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse by him.
    • 15   A continual dropping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike:
    • 16   restraining her is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in his right hand.
    • 17   Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.
    • 18   Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit. He who looks after his master shall be honored.
    • 19   Like water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.
    • 20   Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.
    • 21   The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.
    • 22   Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain, yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.
    • 23   Know well the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds:
    • 24   for riches are not forever, nor does even the crown endure to all generations.
    • 25   The hay is removed, and the new growth appears, the grasses of the hills are gathered in.
    • 26   The lambs are for your clothing, and the goats are the price of a field.
    • 27   There will be plenty of goats’ milk for your food, for your family’s food, and for the nourishment of your servant girls.
