Proverbs 27

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Don't boast about tomorrow, for you don't know what a day might bring.

2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth- a stranger, and not your own lips.

3 A stone is heavy and sand, a burden, but aggravation from a fool outweighs them both.

4 Fury is cruel, and anger is a flood, but who can withstand jealousy?

5 Better an open reprimand than concealed love.

6 The wounds of a friend are trustworthy, but the kisses of an enemy are excessive.

7 A person who is full tramples on a honeycomb, but to a hungry person, any bitter thing is sweet.

8 A man wandering from his home is like a bird wandering from its nest.

9 Oil and incense bring joy to the heart, and the sweetness of a friend is better than self-counsel.

10 Don't abandon your friend or your father's friend, and don't go to your brother's house in your time of calamity; better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.

11 Be wise, my son, and bring my heart joy, so that I can answer anyone who taunts me.

12 The sensible see danger and take cover; the foolish keep going and are punished.

13 Take his garment, for he has put up security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for foreigners.

14 If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted as a curse to him.

15 An endless dripping on a rainy day and a nagging wife are alike.

16 The one who controls her controls the wind and grasps oil with his right hand.

17 Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.

18 Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and whoever looks after his master will be honored.

19 As the water reflects the face, so the heart reflects the person.

20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, and people's eyes are never satisfied.

21 Silver is [tested] in a crucible, gold in a smelter, and a man, by the praise he receives.

22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain, you will not separate his foolishness from him.

23 Know well the condition of your flock, and pay attention to your herds,

24 for wealth is not forever; not even a crown lasts for all time.

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

26 lambs will provide your clothing, and goats, the price of a field;

27 there will be enough goat's milk for your food- food for your household and nourishment for your servants.

English Standard Version ESV

1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.

2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

3 A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty, but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.

4 Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?

5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.

7 One who is full loathes honey, but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet.

8 Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who strays from his home.

9 Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.

10 Do not forsake your friend and your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity. Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away.

11 Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him who reproaches me.

12 The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.

13 Take a man’s garment when he has put up security for a stranger, and hold it in pledge when he puts up security for an adulteress.

14 Whoever blesses his neighbor with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, will be counted as cursing.

15 A continual dripping on a rainy day and a quarrelsome wife are alike;

16 to restrain her is to restrain the wind or to grasp oil in one’s right hand.

17 Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.

18 Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who guards his master will be honored.

19 As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man.

20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, and never satisfied are the eyes of man.

21 The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and a man is tested by his praise.

22 Crush a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, yet his folly will not depart from him.

23 Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds,

24 for riches do not last forever; and does a crown endure to all generations?

25 When the grass is gone and the new growth appears and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,

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

27 There will be enough goats’ milk for your food, for the food of your household and maintenance for your girls.
