27:1 Boast 1984 8691 not thyself of to morrow 4279; for thou knowest 3045 8799 not what a day 3117 may bring forth 3205 8799.(to…: Heb. to morrow day)

27:2 Let another man 2114 8801 praise 1984 8762 thee, and not thine own mouth 6310; a stranger 5237, and not thine own lips 8193.

27:3 A stone 68 [is] heavy 3514, and the sand 2344 weighty 5192; but a fool's 191 wrath 3708 [is] heavier 3515 than them both 8147.(heavy: Heb. heaviness)

27:4 Wrath 2534 [is] cruel 395, and anger 639 [is] outrageous 7858; but who [is] able to stand 5975 8799 before 6440 envy 7068?(Wrath…: Heb. Wrath is cruelty, and anger an overflowing)(envy: or, jealousy?)

27:5 Open 1540 8794 rebuke 8433 [is] better 2896 than secret 5641 8794 love 160.

27:6 Faithful 539 8737 [are] the wounds 6482 of a friend 157 8802; but the kisses 5390 of an enemy 8130 8802 [are] deceitful 6280 8737.(deceitful: or, earnest, or, frequent)

27:7 The full 7649 soul 5315 loatheth 947 8799 an honeycomb 5317; but to the hungry 7457 soul 5315 every bitter thing 4751 is sweet 4966.(loatheth: Heb. treadeth under foot)

27:8 As a bird 6833 that wandereth 5074 8802 from her nest 7064, so [is] a man 376 that wandereth 5074 8802 from his place 4725.

27:9 Ointment 8081 and perfume 7004 rejoice 8055 8762 the heart 3820: so [doth] the sweetness 4986 of a man's friend 7453 by hearty 5315 counsel 6098.(by…: Heb. from the counsel of the soul)

27:10 Thine own friend 7453, and thy father's 1 friend 7453, forsake 5800 8799 not; neither go 935 8799 into thy brother's 251 house 1004 in the day 3117 of thy calamity 343: [for] better 2896 [is] a neighbour 7934 [that is] near 7138 than a brother 251 far off 7350.

27:11 My son 1121, be wise 2449 8798, and make my heart 3820 glad 8055 8761, that I may answer 7725 8686 1697 him that reproacheth 2778 8802 me.

27:12 A prudent 6175 [man] foreseeth 7200 8804 the evil 7451, [and] hideth 5641 8738 himself; [but] the simple 6612 pass on 5674 8804, [and] are punished 6064 8738.

27:13 Take 3947 8798 his garment 899 that is surety 6148 8804 for a stranger 2114 8801, and take a pledge 2254 8798 of him for a strange woman 5237.

27:14 He that blesseth 1288 8764 his friend 7453 with a loud 1419 voice 6963, rising early 7925 8687 in the morning 1242, it shall be counted 2803 8735 a curse 7045 to him.

27:15 A continual 2956 8802 dropping 1812 in a very rainy 5464 day 3117 and a contentious 4079 8675 4066 woman 802 are alike 7737 8739.

27:16 Whosoever hideth 6845 8802 her hideth 6845 8804 the wind 7307, and the ointment 8081 of his right hand 3225, [which] bewrayeth 7121 8799 [itself].

27:17 Iron 1270 sharpeneth 2300 8799 iron 1270; so a man 376 sharpeneth 2300 8686 the countenance 6440 of his friend 7453.

27:18 Whoso keepeth 5341 8802 the fig tree 8384 shall eat 398 8799 the fruit 6529 thereof: so he that waiteth 8104 8802 on his master 113 shall be honoured 3513 8792.

27:19 As in water 4325 face 6440 [answereth] to face 6440, so the heart 3820 of man 120 to man 120.

27:20 Hell 7585 and destruction 11 8675 10 are never 3808 full 7646 8799; so the eyes 5869 of man 120 are never satisfied 7646 8799.(never: Heb. not)

27:21 [As] the fining pot 4715 for silver 3701, and the furnace 3564 for gold 2091; so [is] a man 376 to 6310 his praise 4110.

27:22 Though thou shouldest bray 3806 8799 a fool 191 in a mortar 4388 among 8432 wheat 7383 with a pestle 5940, [yet] will not his foolishness 200 depart 5493 8799 from him.

27:23 Be thou diligent 3045 8799 to know 3045 8800 the state 6440 of thy flocks 6629, [and] look 7896 8798 well 3820 to thy herds 5739.(look…: Heb. set thy heart)

27:24 For riches 2633 [are] not for ever 5769: and doth the crown 5145 [endure] to every 1755 generation 1755?(riches: Heb. strength)(to…: Heb. to generation and generation?)

27:25 The hay 2682 appeareth 1540 8804, and the tender grass 1877 sheweth 7200 8738 itself, and herbs 6212 of the mountains 2022 are gathered 622 8738.

27:26 The lambs 3532 [are] for thy clothing 3830, and the goats 6260 [are] the price 4242 of the field 7704.

27:27 And [thou shalt have] goats' 5795 milk 2461 enough 1767 for thy food 3899, for the food 3899 of thy household 1004, and [for] the maintenance 2416 for thy maidens 5291.(maintenance: Heb. life)
