| 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 thy own mouth; a stranger, and not thy own lips. | |
| 27:3 | A stone heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath heavier than both. | |
| 27:4 | Wrath cruel, and anger outrageous; but who able to stand before envy? | |
| 27:5 | Open rebuke better than secret love. | |
| 27:6 | Faithful the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy deceitful. | |
| 27:7 | The full soul lotheth a honey-comb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. | |
| 27:8 | As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so a man that wandereth from his place. | |
| 27:9 | Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. | |
| 27:10 | Thy own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: better a neighbor near, than a brother far off. | |
| 27:11 | My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me. | |
| 27:12 | A prudent foreseeth the evil, hideth himself; the simple pass on, are punished. | |
| 27:13 | Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. | |
| 27:14 | He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. | |
| 27:15 | A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. | |
| 27:16 | Whoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand bewrayeth . | |
| 27:17 | Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. | |
| 27:18 | He that keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit of it: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honored. | |
| 27:19 | As in water face to face, so the heart of man to man. | |
| 27:20 | Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. | |
| 27:21 | the fining-pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so a man to his praise. | |
| 27:22 | Though thou shouldst bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, his foolishness will not depart from him. | |
| 27:23 | Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, look well to thy herds. | |
| 27:24 | For riches not for ever: and doth the crown to every generation? | |
| 27:25 | The plant appeareth, and the tender grass showeth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. | |
| 27:26 | The lambs for thy clothing, and the goats the price of the field. | |
| 27:27 | And goats milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and maintenance for thy maidens. | |
