Proverbs 27 (New International Version)

Proverbs 27

1 Do not boast about
tomorrow,
for you do not know what a
day may bring forth.

2 Let another praise you, and
not your own mouth;
someone else, and
not your own lips.

3 Stone is heavy and sand a
burden,
but provocation by a fool is
heavier than both.

4 Anger is cruel and fury
overwhelming,
but who can stand before
jealousy?

5 Better is open rebuke

than hidden love.

6 Wounds from a friend can be
trusted,
but an enemy multiplies
kisses.

7 He who is full loathes
honey,
but to the hungry even what is
bitter tastes sweet.

8 Like a bird that strays
from its nest
is a man who strays from
his home.

9 Perfume and incense bring
joy to the heart,
and the pleasantness
of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel.

10 Do not forsake your friend
and the friend of your father,
and do
not go to your brother's house when disaster strikes you—

better a neighbor nearby than a brother
far away.

11 Be wise, my son, and bring
joy to my heart;
then I can answer
anyone who treats me with contempt.

12 The prudent see danger and
take refuge,
but the simple keep going
and suffer for it.

13 Take the garment of one
who puts up security for a stranger;

hold it in pledge if he does it for a wayward woman.

14 If a man loudly blesses
his neighbor early in the morning,
it
will be taken as a curse.

15 A quarrelsome wife is like

a constant dripping on a rainy day;

16 restraining her is like
restraining the wind
or grasping oil
with the hand.

17 As iron sharpens iron,

so one man sharpens another.

18 He who tends a fig tree
will eat its fruit,
and he who looks
after his master will be honored.

19 As water reflects a face,

so a man's heart reflects the man.

20 Death and Destruction are never
satisfied,
and neither are the eyes of
man.

21 The crucible for silver
and the furnace for gold,
but man is
tested by the praise he receives.

22 Though you grind a fool in
a mortar,
grinding him like grain with
a pestle,
you will not remove his folly
from him.

23 Be sure you know the
condition of your flocks,
give careful
attention to your herds;

24 for riches do not endure
forever,
and a crown is not secure for
all generations.

25 When the hay is removed
and new growth appears
and the grass
from the hills is gathered in,

26 the lambs will provide you
with clothing,
and the goats with the
price of a field.

27 You will have plenty of
goats' milk
to feed you and your family

and to nourish your servant girls.
