Proverbs 27 (KJV)   Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what 
a day may bring forth. {2} Let another man praise thee, and not thine own 
mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips. {3} A stone is heavy, and the sand 
weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them 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 loatheth an honeycomb; 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} Thine 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 
neighbour 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} Whosoever 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} Whoso keepeth the fig tree 
shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be 
honoured. {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 shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among 
wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness 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 hay 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 the maintenance 
for thy maidens.
