Proverbs - Chapter: 27


27:1	Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
27:2	Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
27:3	A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
27:4	Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
27:5	Open rebuke is better than secret love.
27:6	Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

27:9	Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
27:10	Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

27:21	As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
27:22	Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
27:23	Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
27:24	For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
