Proverbs 27:1-22

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}
Let another man
<02114> (8801)
praise
<01984> (8762)
thee, and not thine own mouth
<06310>_;
a stranger
<05237>_,
and not thine own lips
<08193>_.
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}
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?}
Open
<01540> (8794)
rebuke
<08433>
[is] better
<02896>
than secret
<05641> (8794)
love
<0160>_.
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}
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}
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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.
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)_.
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>_.
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.
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)_.
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].
Iron
<01270>
sharpeneth
<02300> (8799)
iron
<01270>_;
so a man
<0376>
sharpeneth
<02300> (8686)
the countenance
<06440>
of his friend
<07453>_.
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)_.
As in water
<04325>
face
<06440>
[answereth] to face
<06440>_,
so the heart
<03820>
of man
<0120>
to man
<0120>_.
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}
[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>_.
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.
