Book 20 : PROVERBS - Chapter 027
027:001
Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a
stranger, and not thine own lips
027:002
A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is
heavier than them both
027:003
Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to
stand before envy
027:004
Open rebuke is better than secret love
027:005
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an
enemy are deceitful
027:006
The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul
every bitter thing is sweet
027:007
As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that
wandereth from his place
027:008
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness
of a man's friend by hearty counsel
027:009
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
027:010
My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him
that reproacheth me
027:011
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the
simple pass on, and are punished
027:012
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a
pledge of him for a strange woman
027:013
He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in
the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him
027:014
A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious
woman are alike
027:015
Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his
right hand, which bewrayeth itself
027:016
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of
his friend
027:017
Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he
that waiteth on his master shall be honoured
027:018
As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to
man
027:019
Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are
never satisfied
027:020
As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is
a man to his praise
027:021
Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with
a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him
027:022
Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look
well to thy herds
027:023
For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to
every generation
027:024
The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and
herbs of the mountains are gathered
027:025
The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of
the field
027:026
And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the
food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy
maidens
