Proverbs 27

for you don’t know what a day may bring.

a stranger, and not your own lips.

but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.

but who is able to stand before jealousy?

than hidden love.

although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.

but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.

so is a man who wanders from his home.

so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.

A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.

then I can answer my tormentor.

but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.

Hold it for a wayward woman!

it will be taken as a curse by him.

and a contentious wife are alike:

or like grasping oil in his right hand.

so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.

He who looks after his master shall be honored.

so a man’s heart reflects the man.

and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.

but man is refined by his praise.

yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.

and pay attention to your herds:

nor does the crown endure to all generations.

the grasses of the hills are gathered in.

and the goats are the price of a field.

and for the nourishment of your servant girls.
