Proverbs 27

1

10

14Whoever blesses a neighbor with a loud voice,

rising early in the morning,

will be counted as cursing.

15

17Iron sharpens iron,

and one person sharpens the wits of another.

18 by being praised.

22 Prov 23.35; Jer 5.3 Crush a fool in a mortar with a pestle

along with crushed grain,

but the folly will not be driven out.

23Know well the condition of your flocks,

and give attention to your herds,

24 Job 19.9; Prov 23.5 for riches do not last forever,

nor a crown for all generations.

25 Ps 104.14 When the grass is gone, and new growth appears,

and the herbage of the mountains is gathered,

26the lambs will provide your clothing,

and the goats the price of a field;

27there will be enough goats’ milk for your food,

for the food of your household

and nourishment for your female servants.
