# Proverbs 27 (New King James Version)
|
|
My Son, Be Wise
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 27
|
|
###### 1 Do not boast about tomorrow,
|
|
For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
|
|
|
|
###### 2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth;
|
|
A stranger, and not your own lips.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 A stone _is_ heavy and sand _is_ weighty,
|
|
But a fool's wrath _is_ heavier than both of them.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 Wrath _is_ cruel and anger a torrent,
|
|
But who _is_ able to stand before jealousy?
|
|
|
|
###### 5 Open rebuke _is_ better
|
|
Than love carefully concealed.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 Faithful _are_ the wounds of a friend,
|
|
But the kisses of an enemy _are_ deceitful.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb,
|
|
But to a hungry soul every bitter thing _is_ sweet.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 Like a bird that wanders from its nest
|
|
_Is_ a man who wanders from his place.
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Ointment and perfume delight the heart,
|
|
And the sweetness of a man's friend _gives delight_ by hearty counsel.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 Do not forsake your own friend or your father's friend,
|
|
Nor go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity;
|
|
Better _is_ a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
|
|
That I may answer him who reproaches me.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 A prudent _man_ foresees evil _and_ hides himself;
|
|
The simple pass on _and_ are punished.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 Take the garment of him who is surety for a stranger,
|
|
And hold it in pledge _when_ he is surety for a seductress.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning,
|
|
It will be counted a curse to him.
|
|
|
|
###### 15 A continual dripping on a very rainy day
|
|
And a contentious woman are alike;
|
|
|
|
###### 16 Whoever restrains her restrains the wind,
|
|
And grasps oil with his right hand.
|
|
|
|
###### 17 _As_ iron sharpens iron,
|
|
So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
|
|
|
|
###### 18 Whoever keeps the fig tree will eat its fruit;
|
|
So he who waits on his master will be honored.
|
|
|
|
###### 19 As in water face _reflects_ face,
|
|
So a man's heart _reveals_ the man.
|
|
|
|
###### 20 Hell and Destruction are never full;
|
|
So the eyes of man are never satisfied.
|
|
|
|
###### 21 The refining pot _is_ for silver and the furnace for gold,
|
|
And a man _is valued_ by what others say of him.
|
|
|
|
###### 22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,
|
|
_Yet_ his foolishness will not depart from him.
|
|
|
|
###### 23 Be diligent to know the state of your flocks,
|
|
_And_ attend to your herds;
|
|
|
|
###### 24 For riches _are_ not forever,
|
|
Nor does a crown _endure_ to all generations.
|
|
|
|
###### 25 _When_ the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself,
|
|
And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,
|
|
|
|
###### 26 The lambs _will provide_ your clothing,
|
|
And the goats the price of a field;
|
|
|
|
###### 27 _You shall have_ enough goats' milk for your food,
|
|
For the food of your household,
|
|
And the nourishment of your maidservants.
