The Book of Proverbs: Chapter 27
| «Proverbs Chapter 26 | Proverbs Chapter 28» |
Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
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.
My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
Proverbs 26:2
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
