Proverbs 27:1-27 CSB

[1] Don't boast about tomorrow, for you don't know what a day might bring. [2] Let another praise you, and not your own mouth- a stranger, and not your own lips. [3] A stone is heavy, and sand a burden, but aggravation from a fool outweighs them both. [4] Fury is cruel, and anger a flood, but who can withstand jealousy? [5] Better an open reprimand than concealed love. [6] The wounds of a friend are trustworthy, but the kisses of an enemy are excessive. [7] A person who is full tramples on a honeycomb, but to a hungry person, any bitter thing is sweet. [8] Anyone wandering from his home is like a bird wandering from its nest. [9] Oil and incense bring joy to the heart, and the sweetness of a friend is better than self-counsel. [10] Don't abandon your friend or your father's friend, and don't go to your brother's house in your time of calamity; better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away. [11] Be wise, my son, and bring my heart joy, so that I can answer anyone who taunts me. [12] A sensible person sees danger and takes cover; the inexperienced keep going and are punished. [13] Take his garment, for he has put up security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for foreigners. [14] If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted as a curse to him. [15] An endless dripping on a rainy day and a nagging wife are alike; [16] the one who controls her controls the wind and grasps oil with his right hand. [17] Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens another. [18] Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and whoever looks after his master will be honored. [19] As water reflects the face, so the heart reflects the person. [20] Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, and people's eyes are never satisfied. [21] As a crucible refines silver, and a smelter refines gold, so a person should refine his praise. [22] Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain, you will not separate his foolishness from him. [23] Know well the condition of your flock, and pay attention to your herds, [24] for wealth is not forever; not even a crown lasts for all time. [25] When hay is removed and new growth appears and the grain from the hills is gathered in, [26] lambs will provide your clothing, and goats, the price of a field; [27] there will be enough goat's milk for your food- food for your household and nourishment for your female servants.
