Chapter 27
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.
23
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.
