Proverbs 27

The Message Bible MSG

1 Don't brashly announce what you're going to do tomorrow; you don't know the first thing about tomorrow.

2 Don't call attention to yourself; let others do that for you.

3 Carrying a log across your shoulders while you're hefting a boulder with your arms Is nothing compared to the burden of putting up with a fool.

4 We're blasted by anger and swamped by rage, but who can survive jealousy?

5 A spoken reprimand is better than approval that's never expressed.

6 The wounds from a lover are worth it; kisses from an enemy do you in.

7 When you've stuffed yourself, you refuse dessert; when you're starved, you could eat a horse.

8 People who won't settle down, wandering hither and yon, are like restless birds, flitting to and fro.

9 Just as lotions and fragrance give sensual delight, a sweet friendship refreshes the soul.

10 Don't leave your friends or your parents' friends and run home to your family when things get rough; Better a nearby friend than a distant family.

11 Become wise, dear child, and make me happy; then nothing the world throws my way will upset me.

12 A prudent person sees trouble coming and ducks; a simpleton walks in blindly and is clobbered.

13 Hold tight to collateral on any loan to a stranger; be wary of accepting what a transient has pawned.

14 If you wake your friend in the early morning by shouting "Rise and shine!" It will sound to him more like a curse than a blessing.

15 A nagging spouse is like the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet;

16 You can't turn it off, and you can't get away from it. Your Face Mirrors Your Heart

17 You use steel to sharpen steel, and one friend sharpens another.

18 If you care for your orchard, you'll enjoy its fruit; if you honor your boss, you'll be honored.

19 Just as water mirrors your face, so your face mirrors your heart.

20 Hell has a voracious appetite, and lust just never quits.

21 The purity of silver and gold is tested by putting them in the fire; The purity of human hearts is tested by giving them a little fame.

22 Pound on a fool all you like - you can't pound out foolishness.

23 Know your sheep by name; carefully attend to your flocks;

24 (Don't take them for granted; possessions don't last forever, you know.)

25 And then, when the crops are in and the harvest is stored in the barns,

26 You can knit sweaters from lambs' wool, and sell your goats for a profit;

27 There will be plenty of milk and meat to last your family through the winter.

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
