Proverbs 27:12-27

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.

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}

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?}

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)_.

The lambs
<03532>

[are] for thy clothing
<03830>_,

and the goats
<06260>

[are] the price
<04242>

of the field
<07704>_.

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}
