Proverbs 27:1-10

1Do notH408 boastH1984 about tomorrowH3117H4279,forH3588 you do notH3808 knowH3045 whatH4100 a dayH3117 may bringH3205.
2Let anotherH2114 praise youH1984, and notH3808 your own mouthH6310—a strangerH5237, and notH408 your own lipsH8193.
3A stoneH68 is heavyH3514 and sandH2344 is a burdenH5192,but aggravationH3708 from a foolH191 outweighs themH3515 bothH8147.
4WrathH2534 is cruelH395 and angerH639 is like a floodH7858,but whoH4310 can withstandH5975H6440 jealousyH7068?
5BetterH2896 an openH1540 rebukeH8433than loveH160 that is concealedH5641.
6The woundsH6482 of a friendH157 are faithfulH539,but the kissesH5390 of an enemyH8130 are deceitfulH6280.
7The soulH5315 that is fullH7649 loathesH947 honeyH5317,but to a hungryH7457 soulH5315, anyH3605 bitter thingH4751 is sweetH4966.
8Like a birdH6833 that straysH5074 fromH4480 its nestH7064is a manH376 who wandersH5074 from his homeH4725.
9OilH8081 and incenseH7004 bring joyH8055 to the heartH3820,and the counselH6098 of a friendH7453 is sweetnessH4986 to the soulH5315.
10Do notH408 forsakeH5800 your friendH7453 or your father’sH1 friendH7463,and do notH408 goH935 to your brother’sH251 houseH1004in the dayH3117 of your calamityH343;betterH2896 a neighborH7934 nearbyH7138than a brotherH251 far awayH7350.
