ULT PRO Chapter 27

◄ PRO 27 ► ║ ©

27 Do not boast about the next day,

for you do not know what a day will bring forth.

2 Let a stranger praise you and not your mouth,

a foreigner and not your lips.

3 The heaviness of a stone and the weightiness of the sand,

yet the vexation of a fool is heavier than the two of them.

4 Cruelty of heat and a flood of nose,

but who can stand before the face of jealousy?

5 Better is open rebuke

than hidden love.

6 Faithful are the wounds of one who loves,

but deceptive are the kisses of one who hates.

7 A satiated appetite tramples fresh honey,

but for the appetite of a hungry one everything bitter is sweet.

8 Like a bird wandering from her nest,

so is a man who wanders from his place.

9 Oil and incense gladden the heart

and the sweetness of his friend is from the counsel of the soul.

10 Do not forsake your friend and the friend of your father,

and do not enter the house of your brother in the day of your calamity.

Better is a nearby inhabitant than a distant brother.

11 Be wise, my son, and gladden my heart

and I shall return a word to one who reproaches me.

12 A prudent one sees evil, he hides himself;

naive ones pass on, they are fined.

13 Take his garment when he has pledged for a stranger,

and on behalf of a foreign woman hold it in pledge.

14 One who blesses his neighbor with a great voice in the rising morning,

it will be considered a curse to him!

15 A continual dripping on a day of steady rain

and a woman of quarrels are alike.

16 The one who hides her hides the wind,

and oil meets his right hand.

17 Iron sharpens against iron,

and a man sharpens the face of his neighbor.

18 One who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit

and one who protects his masters will be honored.

19 As the water, the face to the face,

so the heart of the man, to the man.

20 Sheol and Abaddon are not satisfied,

and the eyes of the man are not satisfied.

21 The smelting-pot is for the silver and the furnace is for the gold,

so is a man for the mouth of one who praises him.

22 Even if you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle in the midst of ground grains,

his folly will not turn away from on him.

23 Know well the faces of your flock,

set your heart to the herds.

24 For treasure is not to eternity,

nor even a crown for generation and generation.

25 The grass disappears and fresh grass is seen,

and the herbs of the mountains are gathered,

26 lambs will be for your clothing,

and male goats the price of a field.

27 And there will be enough milk of female goats for your food, for the food of your house,

and life for your young women.
