Proverbs 27:1-10

1BoastH1984 not thyself of to-morrow, for thou knowest not what a dayH3117 will bringH3205 forthH3205.

2Let another praiseH1984 thee, and not thine own mouthH6310; a stranger, and not thine own lipsH8193.

3A stoneH68 is heavyH3515, and the sandH2344 weighty; but a fool's vexation is heavierH3515 than them both.

4Fury is cruel, and angerH639 is outrageous; but who is able to standH5975 before jealousyH7068?

5Open rebukeH8433 is betterH2896 than hiddenH5641 loveH160.

6FaithfulH539 are the woundsH6482 of a friendH157; but the kisses of an enemy are profuse.

7The full soulH5315 trampleth on a honeycomb; but to the hungryH7457 soulH5315 every bitterH4751 thing is sweetH4966.

8As a birdH6833 that wandereth from her nestH7064, soH3651 is a manH376 that wandereth from his placeH4725.

9Ointment and perfume rejoiceH8055 the heartH3820; and the sweetnessH4986 of one's friendH7453 is [the fruit] of hearty counselH6098.

10Thine own friendH7453, and thy father's friendH7453, forsakeH5800 not; and goH935 not into thy brother's houseH1004 in the dayH3117 of thy calamityH343: betterH2896 is a neighbour that is near than a brotherH251 farH7350 off.
