Proverbs 27:7 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Don't brag about tomorrow, since you don't know what the day will bring.
2 Let someone else praise you, not your own mouth-- a stranger, not your own lips.
3 A stone is heavy and sand is weighty, but the resentment caused by a fool is even heavier.
4 Anger is cruel, and wrath is like a flood, but jealousy is even more dangerous.
5 An open rebuke is better than hidden love!
6 Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy.
7 A person who is full refuses honey, but even bitter food tastes sweet to the hungry.
8 A person who strays from home is like a bird that strays from its nest.
9 The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.
10 Never abandon a friend-- either yours or your father's. When disaster strikes, you won't have to ask your brother for assistance. It's better to go to a neighbor than to a brother who lives far away.
11 Be wise, my child, and make my heart glad. Then I will be able to answer my critics.
12 A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
13 Get security from someone who guarantees a stranger's debt. Get a deposit if he does it for foreigners.
14 A loud and cheerful greeting early in the morning will be taken as a curse!
15 A quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping on a rainy day.
16 Stopping her complaints is like trying to stop the wind or trying to hold something with greased hands.
17 As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.
18 As workers who tend a fig tree are allowed to eat the fruit, so workers who protect their employer's interests will be rewarded.
19 As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the real person.
20 Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so human desire is never satisfied.
21 Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but a person is tested by being praised.
22 You cannot separate fools from their foolishness, even though you grind them like grain with mortar and pestle.
23 Know the state of your flocks, and put your heart into caring for your herds,
24 for riches don't last forever, and the crown might not be passed to the next generation.
25 After the hay is harvested and the new crop appears and the mountain grasses are gathered in,
26 your sheep will provide wool for clothing, and your goats will provide the price of a field.
27 And you will have enough goats' milk for yourself, your family, and your servant girls.
1 Boast not thyself H1984 VTY2MS of tomorrow H3117 B-NMS ; for H3588 CONJ thou knowest H3045 VQY2MS not H3808 NADV what H4100 IPRO a day H3117 B-NMS may bring forth H3205 VQY3MS .
2 Let another man H2114 VQPMS praise H1984 VPI3MS-2MS thee , and not H3808 W-NPAR thine own mouth H6310 CMS-2MS ; a stranger H5237 AMS , and not H408 W-NPAR thine own lips H8193 CFD-2MS .
3 A stone H68 GFS is heavy H3514 NMS , and the sand H2344 D-NMS weighty H5192 W-NMS ; but a fool H191 AMS \'s wrath H3708 W-NMS is heavier H3515 VQS3MS than them both H8147 M-CMD-3MP .
4 Wrath H2534 NFS is cruel H395 CFS , and anger H639 NMS is outrageous H7858 W-NMS ; but who H4310 W-IPRO is able to stand H5975 VQY3MS before H6440 L-CMP envy H7068 NFP ?
5 Open H1540 VUPMS rebuke H8433 CFS is better H2896 NFS than secret H5641 VUPFS love H160 M-NFS .
6 Faithful H539 VNPMP are the wounds H6482 CMP of a friend H157 VQPMS ; but the kisses H5390 CFP of an enemy H8130 VQPMS are deceitful H6280 VNPFP .
7 The full H7649 AFS soul H5315 GFS loatheth H947 VQY3FS a honeycomb H5317 NMS ; but to the hungry H7457 AFS soul H5315 GFS every H3605 NMS bitter thing H4751 AMS is sweet H4966 VWQ3MS .
8 As a bird H6833 K-GFS that wandereth H5074 VQPFS from H4480 PREP her nest H7064 NMS-3FS , so H3651 ADV is a man H376 NMS that wandereth H5074 VQPFS from his place H4725 M-CMS-3MS .
9 Ointment H8081 NMS and perfume H7004 W-CFS rejoice H8055 VPY3MS the heart H3820 NMS : so doth the sweetness H4986 W-NMS of a man\'s friend H7453 NMS-3MS by hearty counsel H6098 M-CFS .
10 Thine own friend H7453 NMS-2MS , and thy father H1 NMS \'s friend H7453 NMS-2MS , forsake H5800 VQY2MS not H408 ADV ; neither H408 NPAR go H935 VQY2MS into thy brother H251 CMS-2MS \'s house H1004 W-NMS in the day H3117 B-NMS of thy calamity H343 NMS-2MS : for better H2896 AMS is a neighbor H7934 VQPMS that is near H7138 AMS than a brother H251 CMS-2MS far off H7350 AMS .
11 My son H1121 NMS-1MS , be wise H2449 VQI2MS , and make my heart H3820 NMS-1MS glad H8055 , that I may answer H7725 W-VHY1FS him that reproacheth H2778 VQPMS-1MS me .
12 A prudent H6175 AMS man foreseeth H7200 VQQ3MS the evil H7451 AFS , and hideth himself H5641 VNQ3MS ; but the simple H6612 NMP pass on H5674 VQQ3MP , and are punished H6064 VNQ3MP .
13 Take H3947 VQI2MS his garment H899 NMS-3MS that H3588 CONJ is surety H6148 VQQ3MS for a stranger H2114 VQPMS , and take a pledge H2254 VPI2MS-3MS of him for H1157 W-PREP a strange woman H5237 AFS .
14 He that blesseth H1288 VPPMS his friend H7453 NMS-3MS with a loud H1419 AMS voice H6963 B-NMS , rising early H7925 VHFC in the morning H1242 B-NMS , it shall be counted H2803 VNY2MS a curse H7045 NFS to him .
15 A continual H2956 dropping H1812 in a very rainy H5464 day H3117 B-NMS and a contentious H4079 woman H802 W-CFS are alike H7737 .
16 Whosoever hideth H6845 her hideth H6845 the wind H7307 NFS , and the ointment H8081 of his right hand H3225 CFS-3MS , which betrayeth H7121 itself .
17 Iron H1270 NMS sharpeneth H2300 iron H1270 ; so a man H376 W-NMS sharpeneth H2300 the countenance H6440 CMS of his friend H7453 CMS-3MS .
18 Whoso keepeth H5341 VQPMS the fig tree H8384 shall eat H398 VQY3MS the fruit H6529 thereof : so he that waiteth H8104 on his master H113 shall be honored H3513 .
19 As in water H4325 face H6440 answereth to face H6440 , so H3651 ADV the heart H3820 NMS of man H120 D-NMS to man H120 .
20 Hell H7585 NMS and destruction H10 are never H3808 NADV full H7646 ; so the eyes H5869 W-CMD of man H120 D-NMS are never H3808 NADV satisfied H7646 .
21 As the refining pot H4715 for silver H3701 LD-NMS , and the furnace H3564 for gold H2091 LD-NMS ; so is a man H376 W-NMS to H6310 L-CMS to his praise H4110 .
22 Though H518 PART thou shouldest bray H3806 a fool H191 in a mortar H4388 among H8432 B-NMS wheat H7383 with a pestle H5940 , yet will not H3808 NADV his foolishness H200 depart H5493 from M-PREP-3MS him .
