Proverbs 27:23
chevron_left
chevron_right
1
Boast not thyself
of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2
Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3
A stone
is
heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool’s wrath
is
heavier than them both.
4
Wrath
is
cruel, and anger
is
outrageous; but who
is
able to stand before envy?
5
Open rebuke
is
better than secret love.
6
Faithful
are
the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy
are
deceitful.
7
The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8
As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so
is
a man that wandereth from his place.
9
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so
doth
the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.
10
Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity:
for
better
is
a neighbour
that is
near than a brother far off.
11
My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
12
A prudent
man
foreseeth the evil,
and
hideth himself;
but
the simple pass on,
and
are punished.
13
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
14
He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15
A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
16
Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand,
which
bewrayeth
itself
.
17
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18
Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
19
As in water face
answereth
to face, so the heart of man to man.
20
Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21
As
the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so
is
a man to his praise.
22
Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle,
yet
will not his foolishness depart from him.
Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks,
and
look well to thy herds.
24
For riches
are
not for ever: and doth the crown
endure
to every generation?
25
The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
26
The lambs
are
for thy clothing, and the goats
are
the price of the field.
27
And
thou shalt have
goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and
for
the maintenance for thy maidens.
