LEB PRO Chapter 27
◄ PRO 27 ► ║ ©
- for you do not know what the day will bring.
- 2 May another praise you and not your own mouth, a stranger and not your own lips.
- 3 Heavy is a stone and weighty is sand, but the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them.
- 4 Cruel is wrath and overwhelming is anger, but who will stand before jealousy?
- 5 Better a rebuke that is open than a love that is hidden.
- 6 The wounds of a friend mean well, but the kisses of an enemy are profane.
- 7 An appetite[fn] that is sated spurns honey, but to an appetite[fn] that is ravenous, all bitterness is sweet.
- 8 Like a bird that strays from its nest, so is a man who strays from his place.
- 9 Perfume and incense will gladden a heart, and the pleasantness of one’s friend is personal advice .[fn]
- 10 As for your friend and a friend of your father, do not forsake them, and the house of your brother, do not enter on the day of your calamity.
- Better is a close neighbor than a distant brother.
- 11 Be wise, my child, and make my heart glad, and I will answer him who reproaches me with a word.
- 12 When the clever sees danger, he hides; the simple go on and suffer.
- 13 Take his garment, for he gives surety to a stranger, and to an adulteress[fn]— so take his pledge.
- 14 He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning,
- a curse will be reckoned to him.
- 15 Dripping constantly on a day of heavy rain and a woman[fn] of contention are alike.
- 16 In restraining her, he restrains wind,[fn] and his right hand will grasp oil[fn].
- 17 As iron sharpens[fn] iron, so one man sharpens another .[fn]
- 18 He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who guards his master[fn] will be honored.
- 19 As the waters reflect face to face ,[fn] so the heart of a person reflects the person.
- 20 Sheol[fn] and Abaddon[fn] will not be satisfied, and the eyes of a person will not be satisfied either.
- 21 A crucible is for the silver, and a furnace for the gold, but a man is tested by the mouth of him who praises him.
- 22 If you crush a fool in the mortar with the pestle along with[fn] the crushed grain, it will not drive folly from upon him.
- 23 You will surely know the condition[fn] of your flock; your heart[fn] attends to the herds.
- 24 For riches are not forever, nor a crown for generation after generation.
- 25 When the grass is gone, then green growth will appear, and the herbs of the mountains will be gathered.
- 26 Lambs will be your clothing, and goats the price of the field.
- 27 And there will be enough goats’ milk for your food, for the food of your household and the nourishment[fn] of your maidservants.
