Proverbs 17:1

17:1

Better
<02896>

[is] a dry
<02720>

morsel
<06595>_,

and quietness
<07962>

therewith, than an house
<01004>

full
<04392>

of sacrifices
<02077>

[with] strife
<07379>_.

{sacrifices: or, good cheer}

Proverbs 3:1-35

3:1

My son
<01121>_,

forget
<07911> (8799)

not my law
<08451>_;

but let thine heart
<03820>

keep
<05341> (8799)

my commandments
<04687>_:

3:2

For length
<0753>

of days
<03117>_,

and long
<08141>

life
<02416>_,

and peace
<07965>_,

shall they add
<03254> (8686)

to thee. {long...: Heb. years of life}

3:3

Let not mercy
<02617>

and truth
<0571>

forsake
<05800> (8799)

thee: bind
<07194> (8798)

them about thy neck
<01621>_;

write
<03789> (8798)

them upon the table
<03871>

of thine heart
<03820>_:

3:4

So shalt thou find
<04672> (8798)

favour
<02580>

and good
<02896>

understanding
<07922>

in the sight
<05869>

of God
<0430>

and man
<0120>_.

{good...: or, good success}

3:5

Trust
<0982> (8798)

in the LORD
<03068>

with all thine heart
<03820>_;

and lean
<08172> (8735)

not unto thine own understanding
<0998>_.

3:6

In all thy ways
<01870>

acknowledge
<03045> (8798)

him, and he shall direct
<03474> (8762)

thy paths
<0734>_.

3:7

Be not wise
<02450>

in thine own eyes
<05869>_:

fear
<03372> (8798)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and depart
<05493> (8798)

from evil
<07451>_.

3:8

It shall be health
<07500>

to thy navel
<08270>_,

and marrow
<08250>

to thy bones
<06106>_.

{health: Heb. medicine} {marrow: Heb. watering, or, moistening}

3:9

Honour
<03513> (8761)

the LORD
<03068>

with thy substance
<01952>_,

and with the firstfruits
<07225>

of all thine increase
<08393>_:

3:10

So shall thy barns
<0618>

be filled
<04390> (8735)

with plenty
<07647>_,

and thy presses
<03342>

shall burst out
<06555> (8799)

with new wine
<08492>_.

3:11

My son
<01121>_,

despise
<03988> (8799)

not the chastening
<04148>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

neither be weary
<06973> (8799)

of his correction
<08433>_:

3:12

For whom the LORD
<03068>

loveth
<0157> (8799)

he correcteth
<03198> (8686)_;

even as a father
<01>

the son
<01121>

[in whom] he delighteth
<07521> (8799)_.

3:13

Happy
<0835>

[is] the man
<0120>

[that] findeth
<04672> (8804)

wisdom
<02451>_,

and the man
<0120>

[that] getteth
<06329> (8686)

understanding
<08394>_.

{that getteth...: Heb. that draweth out understanding}

3:14

For the merchandise
<05504>

of it [is] better
<02896>

than the merchandise
<05505>

of silver
<03701>_,

and the gain
<08393>

thereof than fine gold
<02742>_.

3:15

She [is] more precious
<03368>

than rubies
<06443>_:

and all the things thou canst desire
<02656>

are not to be compared
<07737> (8799)

unto her.

3:16

Length
<0753>

of days
<03117>

[is] in her right hand
<03225>_;

[and] in her left hand
<08040>

riches
<06239>

and honour
<03519>_.

3:17

Her ways
<01870>

[are] ways
<01870>

of pleasantness
<05278>_,

and all her paths
<05410>

[are] peace
<07965>_.

3:18

She [is] a tree
<06086>

of life
<02416>

to them that lay hold
<02388> (8688)

upon her: and happy
<0833> (8794)

[is every one] that retaineth
<08551> (8802)

her.

3:19

The LORD
<03068>

by wisdom
<02451>

hath founded
<03245> (8804)

the earth
<0776>_;

by understanding
<08394>

hath he established
<03559> (8790)

the heavens
<08064>_.

{established: or, prepared}

3:20

By his knowledge
<01847>

the depths
<08415>

are broken up
<01234> (8738)_,

and the clouds
<07834>

drop down
<07491> (8799)

the dew
<02919>_.

3:21

My son
<01121>_,

let not them depart
<03868> (8799)

from thine eyes
<05869>_:

keep
<05341> (8798)

sound wisdom
<08454>

and discretion
<04209>_:

3:22

So shall they be life
<02416>

unto thy soul
<05315>_,

and grace
<02580>

to thy neck
<01621>_.

3:23

Then shalt thou walk
<03212> (8799)

in thy way
<01870>

safely
<0983>_,

and thy foot
<07272>

shall not stumble
<05062> (8799)_.

3:24

When thou liest down
<07901> (8799)_,

thou shalt not be afraid
<06342> (8799)_:

yea, thou shalt lie down
<07901> (8804)_,

and thy sleep
<08142>

shall be sweet
<06149> (8804)_.

3:25

Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)

of sudden
<06597>

fear
<06343>_,

neither of the desolation
<07722>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

when it cometh
<0935> (8799)_.

3:26

For the LORD
<03068>

shall be thy confidence
<03689>_,

and shall keep
<08104> (8804)

thy foot
<07272>

from being taken
<03921>_.

3:27

Withhold
<04513> (8799)

not good
<02896>

from them to whom it is due
<01167>_,

when it is in the power
<0410>

of thine hand
<03027>

to do
<06213> (8800)

[it]. {them...: Heb. the owners thereof}

3:28

Say
<0559> (8799)

not unto thy neighbour
<07453>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

and come again
<07725> (8798)_,

and to morrow
<04279>

I will give
<05414> (8799)_;

when thou hast
<03426>

it by thee.

3:29

Devise
<02790> (8799)

not evil
<07451>

against thy neighbour
<07453>_,

seeing he dwelleth
<03427> (8802)

securely
<0983>

by thee. {Devise...: or, Practise no evil}

3:30

Strive
<07378> (8799)

not with a man
<0120>

without cause
<02600>_,

if he have done
<01580> (8804)

thee no harm
<07451>_.

3:31

Envy
<07065> (8762)

thou not the oppressor
<0376> <02555>_,

and choose
<0977> (8799)

none of his ways
<01870>_.

{the oppressor: Heb. a man of violence}

3:32

For the froward
<03868> (8737)

[is] abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_:

but his secret
<05475>

[is] with the righteous
<03477>_.

3:33

The curse
<03994>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] in the house
<01004>

of the wicked
<07563>_:

but he blesseth
<01288> (8762)

the habitation
<05116>

of the just
<06662>_.

3:34

Surely he scorneth
<03887> (8686)

the scorners
<03887> (8801)_:

but he giveth
<05414> (8799)

grace
<02580>

unto the lowly
<06035> (8675) <06041>_.

3:35

The wise
<02450>

shall inherit
<05157> (8799)

glory
<03519>_:

but shame
<07036>

shall be the promotion
<07311> (8688)

of fools
<03684>_.

{shall be...: Heb. exalteth the fools}

Proverbs 23:1-35

23:1

When thou sittest
<03427> (8799)

to eat
<03898> (8800)

with a ruler
<04910> (8802)_,

consider
<0995> (8799)

diligently
<0995> (8800)

what [is] before
<06440>

thee:

23:2

And put
<07760> (8804)

a knife
<07915>

to thy throat
<03930>_,

if thou [be] a man given
<01167>

to appetite
<05315>_.

23:3

Be not desirous
<0183> (8691)

of his dainties
<04303>_:

for they [are] deceitful
<03577>

meat
<03899>_.

23:4

Labour
<03021> (8799)

not to be rich
<06238> (8687)_:

cease
<02308> (8798)

from thine own wisdom
<0998>_.

23:5

Wilt thou set
<05774> (8686) (8675) <05774> (8799)

thine eyes
<05869>

upon that which is not? for [riches] certainly
<06213> (8800)

make
<06213> (8799)

themselves wings
<03671>_;

they fly away
<05774> (8799) (8675) <05774> (8687)

as an eagle
<05404>

toward heaven
<08064>_.

{set...: Heb. cause thine eyes to fly upon}

23:6

Eat
<03898> (8799)

thou not the bread
<03899>

of [him that hath] an evil
<07451>

eye
<05869>_,

neither desire
<0183> (8691)

thou his dainty meats
<04303>_:

23:7

For as he thinketh
<08176> (8804)

in his heart
<05315>_,

so [is] he: Eat
<0398> (8798)

and drink
<08354> (8798)_,

saith
<0559> (8799)

he to thee; but his heart
<03820>

[is] not with thee.

23:8

The morsel
<06595>

[which] thou hast eaten
<0398> (8804)

shalt thou vomit up
<06958> (8686)_,

and lose
<07843> (8765)

thy sweet
<05273>

words
<01697>_.

23:9

Speak
<01696> (8762)

not in the ears
<0241>

of a fool
<03684>_:

for he will despise
<0936> (8799)

the wisdom
<07922>

of thy words
<04405>_.

23:10

Remove
<05253> (8686)

not the old
<05769>

landmark
<01366>_;

and enter
<0935> (8799)

not into the fields
<07704>

of the fatherless
<03490>_:

{landmark: or, bound}

23:11

For their redeemer
<01350> (8802)

[is] mighty
<02389>_;

he shall plead
<07378> (8799)

their cause
<07379>

with thee.

23:12

Apply
<0935> (8685)

thine heart
<03820>

unto instruction
<04148>_,

and thine ears
<0241>

to the words
<0561>

of knowledge
<01847>_.

23:13

Withhold
<04513> (8799)

not correction
<04148>

from the child
<05288>_:

for [if] thou beatest
<05221> (8686)

him with the rod
<07626>_,

he shall not die
<04191> (8799)_.

23:14

Thou shalt beat
<05221> (8686)

him with the rod
<07626>_,

and shalt deliver
<05337> (8686)

his soul
<05315>

from hell
<07585>_.

23:15

My son
<01121>_,

if thine heart
<03820>

be wise
<02449> (8804)_,

my heart
<03820>

shall rejoice
<08055> (8799)_,

even mine
<0589>_.

{even...: or, even I will rejoice}

23:16

Yea, my reins
<03629>

shall rejoice
<05937> (8799)_,

when thy lips
<08193>

speak
<01696> (8763)

right things
<04339>_.

23:17

Let not thine heart
<03820>

envy
<07065> (8762)

sinners
<02400>_:

but [be thou] in the fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

all the day
<03117>

long.

23:18

For surely there is
<03426>

an end
<0319>_;

and thine expectation
<08615>

shall not be cut off
<03772> (8735)_.

{end: or, reward}

23:19

Hear
<08085> (8798)

thou, my son
<01121>_,

and be wise
<02449> (8798)_,

and guide
<0833> (8761)

thine heart
<03820>

in the way
<01870>_.

23:20

Be not among winebibbers
<03196> <05433> (8802)_;

among riotous eaters
<02151> (8802)

of flesh
<01320>_:

{of flesh: Heb. of their flesh}

23:21

For the drunkard
<05433> (8802)

and the glutton
<02151> (8802)

shall come to poverty
<03423> (8735)_:

and drowsiness
<05124>

shall clothe
<03847> (8686)

[a man] with rags
<07168>_.

23:22

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto thy father
<01>

that begat
<03205> (8804)

thee, and despise
<0936> (8799)

not thy mother
<0517>

when she is old
<02204> (8804)_.

23:23

Buy
<07069> (8798)

the truth
<0571>_,

and sell
<04376> (8799)

[it] not; [also] wisdom
<02451>_,

and instruction
<04148>_,

and understanding
<0998>_.

23:24

The father
<01>

of the righteous
<06662>

shall greatly
<01524>

rejoice
<01523> (8799)_:

and he that begetteth
<03205> (8802)

a wise
<02450>

[child] shall have joy
<08055> (8799)

of him.

23:25

Thy father
<01>

and thy mother
<0517>

shall be glad
<08055> (8799)_,

and she that bare
<03205> (8802)

thee shall rejoice
<01523> (8799)_.

23:26

My son
<01121>_,

give
<05414> (8798)

me thine heart
<03820>_,

and let thine eyes
<05869>

observe
<07521> (8799) <05341> (8799)

my ways
<01870>_.

23:27

For a whore
<02181> (8802)

[is] a deep
<06013>

ditch
<07745>_;

and a strange woman
<05237>

[is] a narrow
<06862>

pit
<0875>_.

23:28

She also lieth in wait
<0693> (8799)

as [for] a prey
<02863>_,

and increaseth
<03254> (8686)

the transgressors
<0898> (8802)

among men
<0120>_.

{as for...: or, as a robber}

23:29

Who hath woe
<0188>_?

who hath sorrow
<017>_?

who hath contentions
<04079> (8675) <04066>_?

who hath babbling
<07879>_?

who hath wounds
<06482>

without cause
<02600>_?

who hath redness
<02448>

of eyes
<05869>_?

23:30

They that tarry long
<0309> (8764)

at the wine
<03196>_;

they that go
<0935> (8802)

to seek
<02713> (8800)

mixed wine
<04469>_.

23:31

Look
<07200> (8799)

not thou upon the wine
<03196>

when it is red
<0119> (8691)_,

when it giveth
<05414> (8799)

his colour
<05869>

in the cup
<03563> (8675) <03599>_,

[when] it moveth
<01980> (8691)

itself aright
<04339>_.

23:32

At the last
<0319>

it biteth
<05391> (8799)

like a serpent
<05175>_,

and stingeth
<06567> (8686)

like an adder
<06848>_.

{an...: or, a cockatrice}

23:33

Thine eyes
<05869>

shall behold
<07200> (8799)

strange women
<02114> (8801)_,

and thine heart
<03820>

shall utter
<01696> (8762)

perverse things
<08419>_.

23:34

Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down
<07901> (8802)

in the midst
<03820>

of the sea
<03220>_,

or as he that lieth
<07901> (8802)

upon the top
<07218>

of a mast
<02260>_.

{the midst...: Heb. the heart of the sea}

23:35

They have stricken
<05221> (8689)

me, [shalt thou say, and] I was not sick
<02470> (8804)_;

they have beaten
<01986> (8804)

me, [and] I felt
<03045> (8804)

[it] not: when shall I awake
<06974> (8686)_?

I will seek
<01245> (8762)

it yet
<03254> (8686)

again. {I felt...: Heb. I knew it not}

Proverbs 25:1-28

25:1

These [are] also proverbs
<04912>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

which the men
<0582>

of Hezekiah
<02396>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

copied out
<06275> (8689)_.

25:2

[It is] the glory
<03519>

of God
<0430>

to conceal
<05641> (8687)

a thing
<01697>_:

but the honour
<03519>

of kings
<04428>

[is] to search out
<02713> (8800)

a matter
<01697>_.

25:3

The heaven
<08064>

for height
<07312>_,

and the earth
<0776>

for depth
<06011>_,

and the heart
<03820>

of kings
<04428>

[is] unsearchable
<02714>_.

{is...: Heb. there is no searching}

25:4

Take away
<01898> (8800)

the dross
<05509>

from the silver
<03701>_,

and there shall come forth
<03318> (8799)

a vessel
<03627>

for the finer
<06884> (8802)_.

25:5

Take away
<01898> (8800)

the wicked
<07563>

[from] before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

and his throne
<03678>

shall be established
<03559> (8735)

in righteousness
<06664>_.

25:6

Put not forth
<01921> (8691)

thyself in the presence
<06440>

of the king
<04428>_,

and stand
<05975> (8799)

not in the place
<04725>

of great
<01419>

[men]: {Put...: Heb. Set not out thy glory}

25:7

For better
<02896>

[it is] that it be said
<0559> (8800)

unto thee, Come up
<05927> (8798)

hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower
<08213> (8687)

in the presence
<06440>

of the prince
<05081>

whom thine eyes
<05869>

have seen
<07200> (8804)_.

25:8

Go not forth
<03318> (8799)

hastily
<04118>

to strive
<07378> (8800)_,

lest [thou know not] what to do
<06213> (8799)

in the end
<0319>

thereof, when thy neighbour
<07453>

hath put thee to shame
<03637> (8687)_.

25:9

Debate
<07378> (8798)

thy cause
<07379>

with thy neighbour
<07453>

[himself]; and discover
<01540> (8762)

not a secret
<05475>

to another
<0312>_:

{a secret...: or, the secret of}

25:10

Lest he that heareth
<08085> (8802)

[it] put thee to shame
<02616> (8762)_,

and thine infamy
<01681>

turn not away
<07725> (8799)_.

25:11

A word
<01697>

fitly
<0212> (8675) <0655>

spoken
<01696> (8803)

[is like] apples
<08598>

of gold
<02091>

in pictures
<04906>

of silver
<03701>_.

{fitly...: Heb. spoken upon his wheels}

25:12

[As] an earring
<05141>

of gold
<02091>_,

and an ornament
<02481>

of fine gold
<03800>_,

[so is] a wise
<02450>

reprover
<03198> (8688)

upon an obedient
<08085> (8802)

ear
<0241>_.

25:13

As the cold
<06793>

of snow
<07950>

in the time
<03117>

of harvest
<07105>_,

[so is] a faithful
<0539> (8737)

messenger
<06735>

to them that send
<07971> (8802)

him: for he refresheth
<07725> (8686)

the soul
<05315>

of his masters
<0113>_.

25:14

Whoso
<0376>

boasteth
<01984> (8693)

himself of a false
<08267>

gift
<04991>

[is like] clouds
<05387>

and wind
<07307>

without rain
<01653>_.

{of a...: Heb. in a gift of falsehood}

25:15

By long
<0753>

forbearing
<0639>

is a prince
<07101>

persuaded
<06601> (8792)_,

and a soft
<07390>

tongue
<03956>

breaketh
<07665> (8799)

the bone
<01634>_.

25:16

Hast thou found
<04672> (8804)

honey
<01706>_?

eat
<0398> (8798)

so much as is sufficient
<01767>

for thee, lest thou be filled
<07646> (8799)

therewith, and vomit
<06958> (8689)

it.

25:17

Withdraw
<03365> (8685)

thy foot
<07272>

from thy neighbour's
<07453>

house
<01004>_;

lest he be weary
<07646> (8799)

of thee, and [so] hate
<08130> (8804)

thee. {Withdraw...: or, Let thy foot be seldom in} {weary...: Heb. full of thee}

25:18

A man
<0376>

that beareth
<06030> (8802)

false
<08267>

witness
<05707>

against his neighbour
<07453>

[is] a maul
<04650>_,

and a sword
<02719>_,

and a sharp
<08150> (8802)

arrow
<02671>_.

25:19

Confidence
<04009>

in an unfaithful man
<0898> (8802)

in time
<03117>

of trouble
<06869>

[is like] a broken
<07465>

tooth
<08127>_,

and a foot
<07272>

out of joint
<04154>_.

25:20

[As] he that taketh away
<05710> (8688)

a garment
<0899>

in cold
<07135>

weather
<03117>_,

[and as] vinegar
<02558>

upon nitre
<05427>_,

so [is] he that singeth
<07891> (8802)

songs
<07892>

to an heavy
<07451>

heart
<03820>_.

25:21

If thine enemy
<08130> (8802)

be hungry
<07457>_,

give him bread
<03899>

to eat
<0398> (8685)_;

and if he be thirsty
<06771>_,

give him water
<04325>

to drink
<08248> (8685)_:

25:22

For thou shalt heap
<02846> (8802)

coals of fire
<01513>

upon his head
<07218>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

shall reward
<07999> (8762)

thee.

25:23

The north
<06828>

wind
<07307>

driveth away
<02342> (8787)

rain
<01653>_:

so [doth] an angry
<02194> (8737)

countenance
<06440>

a backbiting
<05643>

tongue
<03956>_.

{driveth...: or, bringeth forth rain: so doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance}

25:24

[It is] better
<02896>

to dwell
<03427> (8800)

in the corner
<06438>

of the housetop
<01406>_,

than with a brawling
<04079> (8675) <04066>

woman
<0802>

and in a wide
<02267>

house
<01004>_.

25:25

[As] cold
<07119>

waters
<04325>

to a thirsty
<05889>

soul
<05315>_,

so [is] good
<02896>

news
<08052>

from a far
<04801>

country
<0776>_.

25:26

A righteous
<06662>

man falling down
<04131> (8801)

before
<06440>

the wicked
<07563>

[is as] a troubled
<07515> (8737)

fountain
<04599>_,

and a corrupt
<07843> (8716)

spring
<04726>_.

25:27

[It is] not good
<02896>

to eat
<0398> (8800)

much
<07235> (8687)

honey
<01706>_:

so [for men] to search
<02714>

their own glory
<03519>

[is not] glory
<03519>_.

25:28

He
<0376>

that [hath] no rule
<04623>

over his own spirit
<07307>

[is like] a city
<05892>

[that is] broken down
<06555> (8803)_,

[and] without walls
<02346>_.

Proverbs 27:1-27

27:1

Boast
<01984> (8691)

not thyself of to morrow
<04279>_;

for thou knowest
<03045> (8799)

not what a day
<03117>

may bring forth
<03205> (8799)_.

{to...: Heb. to morrow day}

27:2

Let another man
<02114> (8801)

praise
<01984> (8762)

thee, and not thine own mouth
<06310>_;

a stranger
<05237>_,

and not thine own lips
<08193>_.

27:3

A stone
<068>

[is] heavy
<03514>_,

and the sand
<02344>

weighty
<05192>_;

but a fool's
<0191>

wrath
<03708>

[is] heavier
<03515>

than them both
<08147>_.

{heavy: Heb. heaviness}

27:4

Wrath
<02534>

[is] cruel
<0395>_,

and anger
<0639>

[is] outrageous
<07858>_;

but who [is] able to stand
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

envy
<07068>_?

{Wrath...: Heb. Wrath is cruelty, and anger an overflowing} {envy: or, jealousy?}

27:5

Open
<01540> (8794)

rebuke
<08433>

[is] better
<02896>

than secret
<05641> (8794)

love
<0160>_.

27:6

Faithful
<0539> (8737)

[are] the wounds
<06482>

of a friend
<0157> (8802)_;

but the kisses
<05390>

of an enemy
<08130> (8802)

[are] deceitful
<06280> (8737)_.

{deceitful: or, earnest, or, frequent}

27:7

The full
<07649>

soul
<05315>

loatheth
<0947> (8799)

an honeycomb
<05317>_;

but to the hungry
<07457>

soul
<05315>

every bitter thing
<04751>

is sweet
<04966>_.

{loatheth: Heb. treadeth under foot}

27:8

As a bird
<06833>

that wandereth
<05074> (8802)

from her nest
<07064>_,

so [is] a man
<0376>

that wandereth
<05074> (8802)

from his place
<04725>_.

27:9

Ointment
<08081>

and perfume
<07004>

rejoice
<08055> (8762)

the heart
<03820>_:

so [doth] the sweetness
<04986>

of a man's friend
<07453>

by hearty
<05315>

counsel
<06098>_.

{by...: Heb. from the counsel of the soul}

27:10

Thine own friend
<07453>_,

and thy father's
<01>

friend
<07453>_,

forsake
<05800> (8799)

not; neither go
<0935> (8799)

into thy brother's
<0251>

house
<01004>

in the day
<03117>

of thy calamity
<0343>_:

[for] better
<02896>

[is] a neighbour
<07934>

[that is] near
<07138>

than a brother
<0251>

far off
<07350>_.

27:11

My son
<01121>_,

be wise
<02449> (8798)_,

and make my heart
<03820>

glad
<08055> (8761)_,

that I may answer
<07725> (8686) <01697>

him that reproacheth
<02778> (8802)

me.

27:12

A prudent
<06175>

[man] foreseeth
<07200> (8804)

the evil
<07451>_,

[and] hideth
<05641> (8738)

himself; [but] the simple
<06612>

pass on
<05674> (8804)_,

[and] are punished
<06064> (8738)_.

27:13

Take
<03947> (8798)

his garment
<0899>

that is surety
<06148> (8804)

for a stranger
<02114> (8801)_,

and take a pledge
<02254> (8798)

of him for a strange woman
<05237>_.

27:14

He that blesseth
<01288> (8764)

his friend
<07453>

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>_,

rising early
<07925> (8687)

in the morning
<01242>_,

it shall be counted
<02803> (8735)

a curse
<07045>

to him.

27:15

A continual
<02956> (8802)

dropping
<01812>

in a very rainy
<05464>

day
<03117>

and a contentious
<04079> (8675) <04066>

woman
<0802>

are alike
<07737> (8739)_.

27:16

Whosoever hideth
<06845> (8802)

her hideth
<06845> (8804)

the wind
<07307>_,

and the ointment
<08081>

of his right hand
<03225>_,

[which] bewrayeth
<07121> (8799)

[itself].

27:17

Iron
<01270>

sharpeneth
<02300> (8799)

iron
<01270>_;

so a man
<0376>

sharpeneth
<02300> (8686)

the countenance
<06440>

of his friend
<07453>_.

27:18

Whoso keepeth
<05341> (8802)

the fig tree
<08384>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

the fruit
<06529>

thereof: so he that waiteth
<08104> (8802)

on his master
<0113>

shall be honoured
<03513> (8792)_.

27:19

As in water
<04325>

face
<06440>

[answereth] to face
<06440>_,

so the heart
<03820>

of man
<0120>

to man
<0120>_.

27:20

Hell
<07585>

and destruction
<011> (8675) <010>

are never
<03808>

full
<07646> (8799)_;

so the eyes
<05869>

of man
<0120>

are never satisfied
<07646> (8799)_.

{never: Heb. not}

27:21

[As] the fining pot
<04715>

for silver
<03701>_,

and the furnace
<03564>

for gold
<02091>_;

so [is] a man
<0376>

to
<06310>

his praise
<04110>_.

27:22

Though thou shouldest bray
<03806> (8799)

a fool
<0191>

in a mortar
<04388>

among
<08432>

wheat
<07383>

with a pestle
<05940>_,

[yet] will not his foolishness
<0200>

depart
<05493> (8799)

from him.

27:23

Be thou diligent
<03045> (8799)

to know
<03045> (8800)

the state
<06440>

of thy flocks
<06629>_,

[and] look
<07896> (8798)

well
<03820>

to thy herds
<05739>_.

{look...: Heb. set thy heart}

27:24

For riches
<02633>

[are] not for ever
<05769>_:

and doth the crown
<05145>

[endure] to every
<01755>

generation
<01755>_?

{riches: Heb. strength} {to...: Heb. to generation and generation?}

27:25

The hay
<02682>

appeareth
<01540> (8804)_,

and the tender grass
<01877>

sheweth
<07200> (8738)

itself, and herbs
<06212>

of the mountains
<02022>

are gathered
<0622> (8738)_.

27:26

The lambs
<03532>

[are] for thy clothing
<03830>_,

and the goats
<06260>

[are] the price
<04242>

of the field
<07704>_.

27:27

And [thou shalt have] goats
<05795>_'

milk
<02461>

enough
<01767>

for thy food
<03899>_,

for the food
<03899>

of thy household
<01004>_,

and [for] the maintenance
<02416>

for thy maidens
<05291>_.

{maintenance: Heb. life}
