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
