Proverbs 27
1Don’t boast 2 for you don’t know what a day may bring. 1
2Let 2 and not your own mouth; 2 a stranger, and not your own lips. 1
3A 2 and sand is a burden; 2 but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both. 1
4Wrath 2 and anger is overwhelming; 2 but who is able to stand before jealousy? 1
5Better 2 than hidden love. 1
6The 2 although the kisses of an enemy are profuse. 1
7A 2 but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet. 1
8As 2 so is a man who wanders from his home. 1
9Perfume 2 so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend. 1
10Don’t forsake 2 Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster. 2 A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother. 1
11Be 2 and bring joy to my heart, 2 then I can answer my tormentor. 1
12A 2 but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. 1
13Take 2 Hold it for a wayward woman! 1
14He 2 it will be taken as a curse by him. 1
15A 2 and a contentious wife are alike: 1
16restraining her 2 or like grasping oil in his right hand. 1
17Iron 2 so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance. 1
18Whoever 2 He who looks after his master shall be honored. 1
19Like 2 so a man’s heart reflects the man. 1
20Sheol 2 and a man’s eyes are never satisfied. 1
21The 2 and the furnace for gold; 2 but man is refined by his praise. 1
22Though you 2 yet his foolishness will not be removed from him. 1
23Know 2 and pay attention to your herds, 1
24for 2 nor does the crown endure to all generations. 1
25The 2 the grasses of the hills are gathered in. 1
26The 2 and the goats are the price of a field. 1
27There will 2 for your family’s food, 2 and for the nourishment of your servant girls.
