Provérbios 27

1 Don’t boast about tomorrow;

2 Let another man praise you,

3 A stone is heavy,

4 Wrath is cruel,

5 Better is open rebuke

6 The wounds of a friend are faithful,

7 A full soul loathes a honeycomb;

8 As a bird that wanders from her nest,

9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart;

10 Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend.

11 Be wise, my son,

12 A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge;

13 Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger.

14 He who blesses his neighbour with a loud voice early in the morning,

15 A continual dropping on a rainy day

16 restraining her is like restraining the wind,

17 Iron sharpens iron;

18 Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit.

19 Like water reflects a face,

20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied;

21 The crucible is for silver,

22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain,

23 Know well the state of your flocks,

24 for riches are not forever,

25 The hay is removed, and the new growth appears,

26 The lambs are for your clothing,

27 There will be plenty of goats’ milk for your food,
