[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31]

PROV 27:1 Boast not for to morrow, for thou knowest not what the day to come may bring forth.

PROV 27:2 Let another praise thee, and not thy own mouth: a stranger, and not thy own lips.

PROV 27:3 A stone is heavy, and sand weighty: but the anger of a fool is heavier than them both.

PROV 27:4 Anger hath no mercy, nor fury when it breaketh forth: and who can bear the violence of one provoked?

PROV 27:5 Open rebuke is better than hidden love.

PROV 27:6 Better are the wounds of a friend, than the deceitful kisses of an enemy.

PROV 27:7 A soul that is full shall tread upon the honeycomb : and a soul that is hungry shall take even bitter for sweet.

PROV 27:8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that leaveth his place.

PROV 27:9 Ointment and perfumes rejoice the heart: and the good counsels of a friend are sweet to the soul.

PROV 27:10 Thy own friend, and thy father's friend forsake not: and go not into thy brother's house in the day of thy affliction. Better is a neighbour that is near, than a brother afar off.

PROV 27:11 Study wisdom, my son, and make my heart joyful, that thou mayst give an answer to him that reproacheth.

PROV 27:12 The prudent man seeing evil hideth himself: little ones passing on have suffered losses.

PROV 27:13 Take away his garment that hath been surety for a stranger: and take from him a pledge for strangers.

PROV 27:14 He that blesseth his neighbour with a loud voice, rising in the night, shall be like to him that curseth.

PROV 27:15 Roofs dropping through in a cold day, and a contentious woman are alike.

PROV 27:16 He that retaineth her, is as he that would hold the wind, and shall call in the oil of his right hand.

PROV 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

PROV 27:18 He that keepeth the fig tree, shall eat the fruit thereof: and he that is the keeper of his master, shall be glorified.

PROV 27:19 As the faces of them that look therein, shine in the water, so-the hearts of men are laid open to the wise.

PROV 27:20 Hell and destruction are never filled: so the eyes of men are never satisfied.

PROV 27:21 As silver is tried in the fining-pot and gold in the furnace: so a man is tried by the mouth of him that praiseth. The heart of the wicked seeketh after evils, but the righteous heart seeketh after knowledge.

PROV 27:22 Though thou shouldst bray a fool in the mortar, as when a pestle striketh upon sodden barley, his folly would not be taken from him.

PROV 27:23 Be diligent to know the countenance of thy cattle, and consider thy own flocks :

PROV 27:24 For thou shalt not always have power: but a crown shall be given to generation and generation.

PROV 27:25 The meadows are open, and the green herbs have appeared, and the hay is gathered out of the mountains.

PROV 27:26 Lambs are for thy clothing: and kids for the price of the field.

PROV 27:27 Let the milk of the goats be enough for thy food, and for the necessities of thy house, and for maintenance for thy handmaids.
