Proverbs 27

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.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 ne glorieris in crastinum ignorans quid superventura pariat dies

2 laudet te alienus et non os tuum extraneus et non labia tua

3 grave est saxum et onerosa harena sed ira stulti utroque gravior

4 ira non habet misericordiam nec erumpens furor et impetum concitati ferre quis poterit

5 melior est manifesta correptio quam amor absconditus

6 meliora sunt vulnera diligentis quam fraudulenta odientis oscula

7 anima saturata calcabit favum anima esuriens et amarum pro dulce sumet

8 sicut avis transmigrans de nido suo sic vir qui relinquit locum suum

9 unguento et variis odoribus delectatur cor et bonis amici consiliis anima dulcoratur

10 amicum tuum et amicum patris tui ne dimiseris et domum fratris tui ne ingrediaris in die adflictionis tuae melior est vicinus iuxta quam frater procul

11 stude sapientiae fili mi et laetifica cor meum ut possim exprobranti respondere sermonem

12 astutus videns malum absconditus est parvuli transeuntes sustinuere dispendia

13 tolle vestimentum eius qui spopondit pro extraneo et pro alienis auferto pignus

14 qui benedicit proximo suo voce grandi de nocte consurgens maledicenti similis erit

15 tecta perstillantia in die frigoris et litigiosa mulier conparantur

16 qui retinet eam quasi qui ventum teneat et oleum dexterae suae vocabit

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
