Proverbs 27

1BoastH1984 notH3808 thyself of tomorrowH4279; for thou knowest notH3808 whatH4100 a dayH3117 may bringH3205 forthH3205. 2LetH408 anotherH2114 man praiseH1984 thee, and notH3808 thine own mouthH6310; a strangerH5237, and notH3808 thine own lipsH8193. 3A stoneH68 is heavyH3515, and the sandH2344 weightyH5192; but a fool’sH191 vexation is heavierH3515 than them bothH8147. 4WrathH2534 is cruel, and angerH639 is outrageous; but who is able to standH5975 beforeH6440 jealousyH7068? 5BetterH2896 is openH1540 rebukeH8433 thanH2896 loveH160 that is hiddenH5641. 6FaithfulH539 are the woundsH6482 of a friendH157: but the kissesH5390 of an enemyH8130 are profuse. 7The fullH7649 soulH5315 loatheth an honeycomb: but to the hungryH7457 soulH5315 everyH3605 bitterH4751 thingH3605 is sweetH4966. 8As a birdH6833 that wandereth from herH3651 nestH7064, soH3651 is a manH376 that wandereth from his placeH4725. 9OintmentH8081 and perfumeH7004 rejoiceH8055 the heartH3820: so doth the sweetnessH4986 of a man’sH5315 friendH7453 that cometh of hearty counselH6098. 10Thine own friendH7453, and thy father’sH1 friendH7453, forsakeH5800 notH408; and goH935 notH408 to thy brother’sH251 houseH1004 in the dayH3117 of thy calamityH343: betterH2896 is a neighbour that is nearH7138 thanH2896 a brotherH251 farH7350 offH7350. 11My sonH1121, be wiseH2449, and makeH8055 my heartH3820 gladH8055, that I may answerH7725 him that reproacheth meH7725. 12A prudentH6175 manH6175 seeth the evilH7451, and hideth himself: but the simple passH5674 on, and suffer for it. 13TakeH3947 his garmentH899 that is suretyH6148 for a strangerH5237; and hold him in pledge that is suretyH6148 for a strangeH2114 womanH5237. 14He that blesseth his friendH7453 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, risingH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, it shall be countedH2803 a curseH7045 to him. 15A continual dropping in a very rainy dayH3117 and a contentiousH4066 womanH802 are alike: 16He that would restrainH6845 herH7121 restraineth the windH7307, and his rightH3225 handH3225 encountereth oilH8081. 17IronH1270 sharpeneth ironH1270; soH6440 a manH376 sharpeneth the countenanceH6440 of his friendH7453. 18Whoso keepeth the figH8384 treeH8384 shall eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof; and he that waiteth on his masterH113 shall be honoured. 19As in waterH4325 faceH6440 answereth to faceH6440, soH3651 the heartH3820 of manH120 to manH120. 20SheolH7585 and Abaddon are neverH3808 satisfiedH7646; and the eyesH5869 of manH120 are neverH3808 satisfiedH7646. 21The fining potH4715 is for silverH3701, and the furnaceH3564 for goldH2091, and a manH376 is tried by his praiseH4110. 22ThoughH518 thou shouldest bray a foolH191 in a mortarH4388 with a pestleH5940 among bruised corn, yet will notH3808 his foolishnessH200 departH5493 from him. 23Be thou diligent to knowH3045 the state of thy flocksH6629, and look wellH3045 to thy herdsH5739: 24For richesH2633 are notH3808 for everH5769; and doth the crownH5145 endureH5769 unto allH1755 generationsH1755? 25The hay is carriedH1540, and the tenderH1877 grassH2682 sheweth itself, and the herbsH6212 of the mountainsH2022 are gatheredH622 in. 26The lambsH3532 are for thy clothingH3830, and the goatsH6260 are the priceH4242 of the fieldH7704: 27And there will be goats’H5795 milkH2461 enoughH1767 for thy foodH3899, for the foodH3899 of thy householdH1004; and maintenance for thy maidensH5291.
