Приче 27

1Do not boast about tomorrow, 2Let someone else praise you and not your own mouth; 3Consider the heaviness of a stone and the weight of sand— 4There is the cruelty of rage and the flood of anger, 5Better is an open rebuke 6Faithful are the wounds caused by a friend, 7A person who has eaten to the full rejects even a honeycomb, 8Like a bird that wanders from its nest 9Perfume and incense make the heart rejoice, Modern versions have different interpretations of this difficult verse. 10Do not forsake your friend and your friend's father, 11Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice; 12A prudent man sees trouble and hides himself, 13Take a garment of one who has put up security for a stranger, 14Whoever gives his neighbor a blessing with a loud voice early in the morning, 15A quarreling wife is like 16restraining her is like restraining the wind, 17Iron sharpens iron; 18The one who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, 19Just as water reflects a person's face, 20Just as Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, 21A crucible is for silver and a furnace is for gold; 22Even if you crush a fool with the pestle—along with the grain— 23Be sure you know the condition of your flocks 24for wealth is not forever. 25You should know when the hay is gone and the new growth appears, 26Those lambs will provide your clothing
