Proverbs 27:1-7

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}
