Proverbs:27

* Boast not thyself of tomorrow , for thou know not what a day may bring forth . * Let another man praise thee , and not thine own mouth , a stranger , and not thine own lips . * A stone is heavy , and the sand weighty , but a fool 's vexation is heavier than both . * Wrath is cruel , and anger is overwhelming , but who is able to stand before jealousy ? * Better is open rebuke than love that is hidden . * Faithful are the wounds of a friend , but the kisses of an enemy are profuse . * The full soul loathes a honeycomb , but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet . * As a bird that wanders from her nest , so is a man who wanders from his place . * Oil and perfume rejoice the heart , so [too ] the sweetness of a man 's friend by hearty counsel . * Forsake not thine own friend , and thy father 's friend . And go not to thy brother 's house in the day of thy calamity . Better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far off . * My son , be wise , and make my heart glad , that I may answer him who reproaches me . * A prudent man sees the evil , [and ] hides himself . The simple pass on , [and ] suffer for it . * Take his garment who is surety for a stranger , and hold him in pledge [who is surety ] for a strange woman . * He who blesses his friend with a loud voice , rising early in the morning , it shall be considered a curse to him . * A continual dropping in a very rainy day , and a contentious woman are alike . * He who would restrain her restrains the wind , and his right hand encounters oil . * Iron sharpens iron , so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend . * He who keeps the fig tree shall eat the fruit of it , and he who regards his master shall be honored . * As in water face [is ] to face , so the heart of a man [is ] to a man . * Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied , and the eyes of man are never satisfied . * The refining pot is for silver , and the furnace for gold , and a man is [tried ] by his praise . * Though thou should pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain , yet his foolishness will not depart from him . * Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks , [and ] look well to thy herds . * For riches are not forever . And does the crown endure to all generations ? * The hay is carried , and the tender grass shows itself , and the herbs of the mountains are gathered in . * The lambs are for thy clothing , and the goats are the cost of the field . * And [then will be ] goats ' milk enough for thy food ; for the food of thy household , and maintenance for thy maidens .
