Proverbs 27

^{Tools
1} Thou shalt not boast upon the day of the morrow, for thou shalt not know what a day shall bring forth.

^{Tools
2} A stranger shall praise thee, and not thy mouth; a stranger, and not thy lips.

^{Tools
3} A stone is heavy and sand a burden, and the wrath of the foolish one heavy more than they two.

^{Tools
4} Wrath is cruelty, and anger an overflowing; and who shall stand before jealousy?

^{Tools
5} Naked rebuke is good above secret love.

^{Tools
6} Faithful the wounds of a friend; and abundant the kisses of an enemy.

^{Tools
7} The full soul will tread down the honey droppings, and to the hungry soul all bitter is sweet

^{Tools
8} As the bird wandering from her nest, so is a man wandering from his place.

^{Tools
9} Oil and incense will rejoice the heart: and the sweetness from his friend from the counsel of the soul.

^{Tools
10} Thy friend and thy father's friend thou shalt not forsake; and thou shalt not go to thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: good he dwelling near, more than a brother far off.

^{Tools
11} My son, be wise and gladden my heart, and I will turn back word to him reproaching me.

^{Tools
12} The prudent one saw the evil, he hid himself; the simple passed and were punished.

^{Tools
13} Take his garment pledging a stranger, and bind him by a pledge for a strange woman.

^{Tools
14} He blessing his friend with a great voice, rising early in the morning, a curse shall be reckoned to him.

^{Tools
15} A dropping thrust forth in the day of rain and a woman of strifes were alike.

^{Tools
16} He hiding her, hid the wind, and he shall call the oil of his right hand.

^{Tools
17} Iron will sharpen upon iron; and a man will sharpen the face of his friend.

^{Tools
18} He guarding the fig tree shall eat its fruit: and he watching his lord shall be honored.

^{Tools
19} As in water, face to face, so the heart of man to man.

^{Tools
20} Hades and destruction shall not be satisfied; and the eyes of man shall not be satisfied.

^{Tools
21} The crucible for silver, and the furnace for gold, and a man to the mouth praising him.

^{Tools
22} If thou shalt pound the foolish in a mortar in the midst of the grain with a pestle, thou shalt not remove from him his folly.

^{Tools
23} Knowing, thou shalt know the face of thy flock; set thy heart to thy herds.

^{Tools
24} For not strength forever, and not consecration to generation and generation.

^{Tools
25} The grass was uncovered and the young herbage was seen; and the green plants of the mountains were gathered.

^{Tools
26} Lambs for thy clothing, and the he goats the price of the field.

^{Tools
27} And enough of goats' milk for thy bread, and for the bread of thy house, and the life of thy girls.
