Proverbs 27:1-10

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.
