Proverbs 27:1-Proverbs 30:1 - All About Life
1 Thou shalt not boast upon the day of the morrow, for thou shalt not know what a day shall bring forth.
2 A stranger shall praise thee, and not thy mouth; a stranger, and not thy lips.
3 A stone is heavy and sand a burden, and the wrath of the foolish one heavy more than they two.
4 Wrath is cruelty, and anger an overflowing; and who shall stand before jealousy?
5 Naked rebuke is good above secret love.
6 Faithful the wounds of a friend; and abundant the kisses of an enemy.
7 The full soul will tread down the honey droppings, and to the hungry soul all bitter is sweet
8 As the bird wandering from her nest, so is a man wandering from his place.
9 Oil and incense will rejoice the heart: and the sweetness from his friend from the counsel of the soul.
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.
11 My son, be wise and gladden my heart, and I will turn back word to him reproaching me.
12 The prudent one saw the evil, he hid himself; the simple passed and were punished.
13 Take his garment pledging a stranger, and bind him by a pledge for a strange woman.
14 He blessing his friend with a great voice, rising early in the morning, a curse shall be reckoned to him.
15 A dropping thrust forth in the day of rain and a woman of strifes were alike.
16 He hiding her, hid the wind, and he shall call the oil of his right hand.
17 Iron will sharpen upon iron; and a man will sharpen the face of his friend.
18 He guarding the fig tree shall eat its fruit: and he watching his lord shall be honored.
19 As in water, face to face, so the heart of man to man.
20 Hades and destruction shall not be satisfied; and the eyes of man shall not be satisfied.
21 The crucible for silver, and the furnace for gold, and a man to the mouth praising him.
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.
23 Knowing, thou shalt know the face of thy flock; set thy heart to thy herds.
24 For not strength forever, and not consecration to generation and generation.
25 The grass was uncovered and the young herbage was seen; and the green plants of the mountains were gathered.
26 Lambs for thy clothing, and the he goats the price of the field.
27 And enough of goats' milk for thy bread, and for the bread of thy house, and the life of thy girls.
1 The unjust fled and none pursuing, and the just shall be confident as the young lion.
2 In the transgression of a land many its chiefs: and by a man understanding to know, the place shall be extended.
3 A poor man oppressing the poor, a sweeping rain and no bread.
4 They forsaking the law will praise the unjust: and they watching the law, shall contend with them.
5 Men of evil shall not understand judgment: and they seeking Jehovah shall understand all.
6 Good the poor one going in his integrity above him perverting the ways, and he the rich.
7 He watching the law a son understanding: and the companion of squanderers will shame his father.
8 He increasing by interest and usury, he shall gather it for him compassionating the poor.
9 He turning away his ear from hearing the law, also his prayer is an abomination.
10 He causing the upright to wander in an evil way, into his pit shall he fall: and the good shall inherit complete things.
11 The rich man is wise in his eyes, and the poor one understanding shall search him out.
12 In the rejoicing of the just, much glory: in the rising up of the unjust, man will hide himself.
13 He covering his transgression shall not prosper: but he confessing and forsaking, shall be compassionated.
14 Happy the man fearing always: and he hardening his heart shall fall into evil
15 A roaring lion and a greedy bear the unjust one ruling over a poor people.
16 A prince wanting understanding and great in oppressions: he hating gain shall lengthen the days.
17 He terrifying violence upon the blood of a soul shall flee even to the pit; none shall hold fast upon him.
18 He going uprightly shall be saved; and he being violent in the ways shall fall at once.
19 He working his land shall be filled with bread: and he pursuing the vain shall be filled with poverty.
20 A man of faithfulness multiplied blessings: and he hesting to be rich shall not be innocent
21 To look upon faces is not good and for a morsel of bread the man will transgress.
22 A man of evil eye hasted for riches, and knew not that want shall come upon him.
23 He reproving a man, afterwards shall find favor more than he smoothing the tongue.
24 He stripping his father and his mother, and saying, No transgression; is companion to a man destroying.
25 He enlarging the soul shall excite strife: and he trusting upon Jehovah shall he made fat
26 He trusting in his heart is foolish: and he going in wisdom shall be delivered.
27 He giving to the poor wants not: and he hiding his eyes increased curses.
28 In the rising up of the unjust, man shalt hide: and in their perishing, the lust shall increase.
1 A Man of reproofs hardening the neck, shall be suddenly broken, and no healing.
2 In the increasing of the just the people will rejoice: and in the ruling of the unjust one the people will groan.
3 A man loving wisdom will gladden his father: and he feeding harlots shall destroy riches.
4 A king in judgment shall establish the land: and a man of presents shall overthrow it
5 A man making smooth against his neighbor spreads a net for his steps.
6 In the transgression of an evil man is a snare: and the just one shall rejoice and be glad:
7 The just one knew the judgment of the poor: the unjust one will not understand knowledge.
8 Men of derision will kindle up a city: and the wise will turn away anger.
9 A wise man contending with a foolish man and raging and laughing, and no rest.
10 Men of bloods will hate the upright one: and the upright will seek his soul.
11 The foolish one will bring forth all his spirit; and the wise one will restrain it back.
12 A ruler listening to the word of falsehood, all serving him are unjust
13 The poor one and the man of oppressions met together: Jehovah enlightening the eyes of them both.
14 The king judging the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for a testimony.
15 The rod and reproofs will give wisdom: and the youth being left shames his mother.
16 In increasing the unjust, transion will increase: and the just all look upon their fall.
17 Correct thy son and he shall cause thee to rest, and he shall give delight to thy soul.
18 In no vision the people shall be unruly: and he watching the law, happy is he.
19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for he will understand and not answer.
20 Thou sawest a man hasty in his words: hope to the foolish one more than to him.
21 He bringing up his servant delicately from youth, and his latter state will be a child.
22 A man of anger will excite strife, and the possessor of wrath increased transgression.
23 A man's pride shall bring him low: and honor shall uphold him humble of spirit
24 He dividing with a thief, hates his soul: he shall hear cursing and shall not announce.
25 The fear of man will give a snare: and he trusting in Jehovah shall be exalted.
26 Many are seeking the face of the ruler, and from Jehovah a man's judgment
27 A man of iniquity is an abomination of the just; and the upright of way, an abomination of the unjust one.
