Pro 27:1 Never boast about tomorrow. You don't know what will happen between now and then.
Pro 27:2 Let other people praise you---even strangers; never do it yourself.
Pro 27:3 The weight of stone and sand is nothing compared to the trouble that stupidity can cause.
Pro 27:4 Anger is cruel and destructive, but it is nothing compared to jealousy.
Pro 27:5 Better to correct someone openly than to let him think you don't care for him at all.
Pro 27:6 Friends mean well, even when they hurt you. But when an enemy puts his arm around your shoulder---watch out!
Pro 27:7 When you are full, you will refuse honey, but when you are hungry, even bitter food tastes sweet.
Pro 27:8 Anyone away from home is like a bird away from its nest.
Pro 27:9 Perfume and fragrant oils make you feel happier, but trouble shatters your peace of mind.
Pro 27:10 Do not forget your friends or your father's friends. If you are in trouble, don't ask a relative for help; a nearby neighbor can help you more than relatives who are far away.
Pro 27:11 Be wise, my child, and I will be happy; I will have an answer for anyone who criticizes me.
Pro 27:12 Sensible people will see trouble coming and avoid it, but an unthinking person will walk right into it and regret it later.
Pro 27:13 Any people stupid enough to promise to be responsible for a stranger's debts deserve to have their own property held to guarantee payment.
Pro 27:14 You might as well curse your friends as wake them up early in the morning with a loud greeting.
Pro 27:15 A nagging wife is like water going drip-drip-drip on a rainy day.
Pro 27:16 How can you keep her quiet? Have you ever tried to stop the wind or ever tried to hold a handful of oil?
Pro 27:17 People learn from one another, just as iron sharpens iron.
Pro 27:18 Take care of a fig tree and you will have figs to eat. Servants who take care of their master will be honored.
Pro 27:19 It is your own face that you see reflected in the water and it is your own self that you see in your heart.
Pro 27:20 Human desires are like the world of the dead---there is always room for more.
Pro 27:21 Fire tests gold and silver; a person's reputation can also be tested.
Pro 27:22 Even if you beat fools half to death, you still can't beat their foolishness out of them.
Pro 27:23 Look after your sheep and cattle as carefully as you can,
Pro 27:24 because wealth is not permanent. Not even nations last forever.
Pro 27:25 You cut the hay and then cut the grass on the hillsides while the next crop of hay is growing.
Pro 27:26 You can make clothes from the wool of your sheep and buy land with the money you get from selling some of your goats.
Pro 27:27 The rest of the goats will provide milk for you and your family, and for your servant women as well.
