Proverbs 27
1 Boast not thyself of tomorrow: for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth: a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty: but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
4 Anger is cruel, and wrath is raging: but who can stand before envy?
5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6 The wounds of a lover are faithful, and the kisses of an enemy are pleasant.
7 The person that is full, despiseth an honeycomb: but unto the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his own place.
9 As ointment and perfume rejoice the heart, so doeth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
10 Thine own friend and thy father's friend forsake thou not: neither enter into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbor that is near, than a brother far off.
11 My son, be wise, and rejoice mine heart, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
12 A prudent man seeth the plague, and hideth himself: but the foolish go on still, and are punished.
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and a pledge of him for the stranger.
14 He that praiseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted to him as a curse.
15 A continual dropping in the day of rain, and a contentious woman are alike.
16 He that hideth her, hideth the wind, and she is as ye oil in his right hand, that uttereth itself.
From the Proverbs of Solomon, the Bible
