The Webster Bible
Proverbs, Chapter 27

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