Proverbs 27

New International Version NIV

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

2 Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider, and not your own lips.

3 Stone is heavy and sand a burden, but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.

4 Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?

5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

6 Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.

7 One who is full loathes honey from the comb, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.

8 Like a bird that flees its nest is anyone who flees from home.

9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice.

10 Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family, and do not go to your relative’s house when disaster strikes you— better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.

11 Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart; then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.

12 The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

13 Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger; hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.

14 If anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse.

15 A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm;

16 restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.

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.

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
