Proverbs 27:17-27

The Latin Vulgate VUL

17 ferrum ferro acuitur et homo exacuit faciem amici sui

18 qui servat ficum comedet fructus eius et qui custos est domini sui glorificabitur

19 quomodo in aquis resplendent vultus prospicientium sic corda hominum manifesta sunt prudentibus

20 infernus et perditio non replentur similiter et oculi hominum insatiabiles

21 quomodo probatur in conflatorio argentum et in fornace aurum sic probatur homo ore laudantis

22 si contuderis stultum in pila quasi tisanas feriente desuper pilo non auferetur ab eo stultitia eius

23 diligenter agnosce vultum pecoris tui tuosque greges considera

24 non enim habebis iugiter potestatem sed corona tribuetur in generatione generationum

25 aperta sunt prata et apparuerunt herbae virentes et collecta sunt faena de montibus

26 agni ad vestimentum tuum et hedi agri pretium

27 sufficiat tibi lac caprarum in cibos tuos in necessaria domus tuae et ad victum ancillis tuis

New International Version NIV

17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

18 The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit, and whoever protects their master will be honored.

19 As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.

20 Death and Destruction are never satisfied, and neither are human eyes.

21 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but people are tested by their praise.

22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar, grinding them like grain with a pestle, you will not remove their folly from them.

23 Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds;

24 for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations.

25 When the hay is removed and new growth appears and the grass from the hills is gathered in,

26 the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field.

27 You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed your family and to nourish your female servants.
