Proverbs 27
1 Boast not thy selfe of to morowe: for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
| אַֽל־תִּתְהַלֵּל בְּיוֹם מָחָר כִּי לֹֽא־תֵדַע מַה־יֵּלֶד יֽוֹם׃ |
2 Let another man prayse thee, and not thine owne mouth: a stranger, and not thine owne lips.
| יְהַלֶּלְךָ זָר וְלֹא־פִיךָ נׇכְרִי וְאַל־שְׂפָתֶֽיךָ׃ |
3 A stone is heauie, and the sand weightie: but a fooles wrath is heauier then them both.
| כֹּֽבֶד־אֶבֶן וְנֵטֶל הַחוֹל וְכַעַס אֱוִיל כָּבֵד מִשְּׁנֵיהֶֽם׃ |
4 Anger is cruell, and wrath is raging: but who can stand before enuie?
| אַכְזְרִיּוּת חֵמָה וְשֶׁטֶף אָף וּמִי יַעֲמֹד לִפְנֵי קִנְאָֽה׃ |
5 Open rebuke is better then secret loue.
| טוֹבָה תּוֹכַחַת מְגֻלָּה מֵאַהֲבָה מְסֻתָּֽרֶת׃ |
6 The wounds of a louer are faithful, and the kisses of an enemie are pleasant.
| נֶאֱמָנִים פִּצְעֵי אוֹהֵב וְנַעְתָּרוֹת נְשִׁיקוֹת שׂוֹנֵֽא׃ |
7 The person that is full, despiseth an hony combe: but vnto the hungry soule euery bitter thing is sweete.
| נֶפֶשׁ שְׂבֵעָה תָּבוּס נֹפֶת וְנֶפֶשׁ רְעֵבָה כׇּל־מַר מָתֽוֹק׃ |
8 As a bird that wandreth from her nest, so is a man that wandreth from his owne place.
| כְּצִפּוֹר נוֹדֶדֶת מִן־קִנָּהּ כֵּֽן־אִישׁ נוֹדֵד מִמְּקוֹמֽוֹ׃ |
9 As oyntment and perfume reioyce the heart, so doeth the sweetenes of a mans friend by hearty counsell.
| שֶׁמֶן וּקְטֹרֶת יְשַׂמַּֽח־לֵב וּמֶתֶק רֵעֵהוּ מֵעֲצַת־נָֽפֶשׁ׃ |
10 Thine owne friend and thy fathers friend forsake thou not: neither enter into thy brothers house in the day of thy calamitie: for better is a neighbour that is neere, then a brother farre off.
| רֵעֲךָ (ורעה) [וְרֵעַ] אָבִיךָ אַֽל־תַּעֲזֹב וּבֵית אָחִיךָ אַל־תָּבוֹא בְּיוֹם אֵידֶךָ טוֹב שָׁכֵן קָרוֹב מֵאָח רָחֽוֹק׃ |
11 My sonne, be wise, and reioyce mine heart, that I may answere him that reprocheth me.
| חֲכַם בְּנִי וְשַׂמַּח לִבִּי וְאָשִׁיבָה חֹרְפִי דָבָֽר׃ |
12 A prudent man seeth the plague, and hideth himselfe: but the foolish goe on still, and are punished.
| עָרוּם ׀ רָאָה רָעָה נִסְתָּר פְּתָאיִם עָבְרוּ נֶעֱנָֽשׁוּ׃ |
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and a pledge of him for the stranger.
| קַח־בִּגְדוֹ כִּי־עָרַב זָר וּבְעַד נׇכְרִיָּה חַבְלֵֽהוּ׃ |
14 He that prayseth his friend with a loude voyce, rising earely in the morning, it shall be counted to him as a curse.
| מְבָרֵךְ רֵעֵהוּ ׀ בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל בַּבֹּקֶר הַשְׁכֵּים קְלָלָה תֵּחָשֶׁב לֽוֹ׃ |
15 A continual dropping in the day of raine, and a contentious woman are alike.
| דֶּלֶף טוֹרֵד בְּיוֹם סַגְרִיר וְאֵשֶׁת (מדונים) [מִדְיָנִים] נִשְׁתָּוָֽה׃ |
16 He that hideth her, hideth the winde, and she is as ye oyle in his right hand, that vttereth it selfe.
| צֹפְנֶיהָ צָפַן־רוּחַ וְשֶׁמֶן יְמִינוֹ יִקְרָֽא׃ |
17 Yron sharpeneth yron, so doeth man sharpen the face of his friend.
| בַּרְזֶל בְּבַרְזֶל יָחַד וְאִישׁ יַחַד פְּנֵֽי־רֵעֵֽהוּ׃ |
18 He that keepeth the fig tree, shall eate the fruite thereof: so he that waiteth vpon his master, shall come to honour.
| נֹצֵר תְּאֵנָה יֹאכַל פִּרְיָהּ וְשֹׁמֵר אֲדֹנָיו יְכֻבָּֽד׃ |
19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
| כַּמַּיִם הַפָּנִים לַפָּנִים כֵּן לֵֽב־הָאָדָם לָאָדָֽם׃ |
20 The graue and destruction can neuer be full, so the eyes of man can neuer be satisfied. (Sheol h7585)
| שְׁאוֹל וַאֲבַדֹּה לֹא תִשְׂבַּעְנָה וְעֵינֵי הָאָדָם לֹא תִשְׂבַּֽעְנָה׃ (Sheol h7585) |
21 As is the fining pot for siluer and the fornace for golde, so is euery man according to his dignitie.
| מַצְרֵף לַכֶּסֶף וְכוּר לַזָּהָב וְאִישׁ לְפִי מַהֲלָלֽוֹ׃ |
22 Though thou shouldest bray a foole in a morter among wheate brayed with a pestell, yet will not his foolishnes depart from him.
| אִם תִּכְתּֽוֹשׁ־אֶת־הָאֱוִיל ׀ בַּמַּכְתֵּשׁ בְּתוֹךְ הָרִיפוֹת בַּעֱלִי לֹא־תָסוּר מֵעָלָיו אִוַּלְתּֽוֹ׃ |
23 Be diligent to know ye state of thy flocke, and take heede to the heardes.
| יָדֹעַ תֵּדַע פְּנֵי צֹאנֶךָ שִׁית לִבְּךָ לַעֲדָרִֽים׃ |
24 For riches remaine not alway, nor the crowne from generation to generation.
| כִּי לֹא לְעוֹלָם חֹסֶן וְאִם־נֵזֶר לְדוֹר (דור) [וָדֽוֹר]׃ |
25 The hey discouereth it selfe, and the grasse appeareth, and the herbes of the mountaines are gathered.
| גָּלָה חָצִיר וְנִרְאָה־דֶשֶׁא וְנֶאֶסְפוּ עִשְּׂבוֹת הָרִֽים׃ |
26 The lambes are for thy clothing, and the goates are the price of the fielde.
| כְּבָשִׂים לִלְבוּשֶׁךָ וּמְחִיר שָׂדֶה עַתּוּדִֽים׃ |
27 And let the milke of the goates be sufficient for thy foode, for the foode of thy familie, and for the sustenance of thy maydes.
| וְדֵי ׀ חֲלֵב עִזִּים לְֽלַחְמְךָ לְלֶחֶם בֵּיתֶךָ וְחַיִּים לְנַעֲרוֹתֶֽיךָ׃ |
