# 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.
