Proverbs 27
1Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
3A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool’s wrath is heavier than them both.
5Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
9Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.
15A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
16Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
17Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
19As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
20Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
23Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
