Holy Name King James Version (KJV)

Proverbs 27

1 Observations of selflove, 5 of true love, 11 of care to avoid offences, 23 and of the household care.

 27:1 ¶ Boast y1984 z8691 not thyself x408 x1984 of to morrow; 4279 x3117 for x3588 thou knowest 3045 z8799 not x3808 what x4100 a day 3117 may bring forth. 3205 z8799

 27:2 Let another man 2114 z8801 praise 1984 z8762 thee, and not x3808 thine own mouth; 6310 a stranger, 5237 and not x408 thine own lips. 8193

 27:3 A stone 68 [is] heavy, 3514 and the sand 2344 weighty; 5192 but a fool's 191 wrath 3708 [is] heavier 3515 than them both. 8147 x4480

 27:4 Wrath 2534 [is] cruel, 395 and anger 639 [is] outrageous; 7858 but who x4310 [is] able to stand 5975 z8799 before 6440 envy? 7068

 27:5 Open 1540 z8794 rebuke 8433 [is] better 2896 than secret 5641 z8794 love. 160 x4480

 27:6 Faithful 539 z8737 [are] the wounds 6482 of a friend; 157 z8802 but the kisses 5390 of an enemy 8130 z8802 [are] deceitful. 6280 z8737

 27:7 The full 7649 soul 5315 loatheth 947 z8799 an honeycomb; 5317 but to the hungry 7457 soul 5315 every x3605 bitter thing 4751 is sweet. 4966

 27:8 As a bird 6833 that wandereth 5074 z8802 from x4480 her nest, 7064 so x3651 [is] a man 376 that wandereth 5074 z8802 from his place. 4725 x4480

 27:9 Ointment 8081 and perfume 7004 rejoice 8055 z8762 the heart: 3820 so [doth] the sweetness 4986 of a man's friend 7453 by hearty y5315 counsel. 6098 x4480 x5315

 27:10 Thine own friend, 7453 and thy father's 1 friend, 7453 forsake 5800 z8799 not; x408 neither x408 go 935 z8799 into thy brother's 251 house 1004 in the day 3117 of thy calamity: 343 [for] better 2896 [is] a neighbour 7934 [that is] near 7138 than a brother 251 x4480 far off. 7350

 27:11 My son, 1121 be wise, 2449 z8798 and make my heart 3820 glad, 8055 z8761 that I may answer 7725 1697 z8686 him that reproacheth 2778 z8802 me.

 27:12 A prudent 6175 [man] foreseeth 7200 z8804 the evil, 7451 [and] hideth y5641 z8738 himself; x5641 [but] the simple 6612 pass on, 5674 z8804 [and] are punished. 6064 z8738

 27:13 Take 3947 z8798 his garment 899 that x3588 is surety 6148 z8804 for a stranger, 2114 z8801 and take a pledge 2254 z8798 of him for x1157 a strange woman. 5237

 27:14 He that blesseth 1288 z8764 his friend 7453 with a loud 1419 voice, 6963 rising early 7925 z8687 in the morning, 1242 it shall be counted 2803 z8735 a curse 7045 to him.

 27:15 A continual 2956 z8802 dropping 1812 in a very rainy 5464 day 3117 and a contentious 4079 z8675 y4066 woman 802 are alike. 7737 z8739

 27:16 Whosoever hideth 6845 z8802 her hideth 6845 z8804 the wind, 7307 and the ointment 8081 of his right hand, 3225 [which] bewrayeth 7121 z8799 [itself].

 27:17 Iron 1270 sharpeneth 2300 z8799 iron; 1270 so a man 376 sharpeneth 2300 z8686 the countenance 6440 of his friend. 7453

 27:18 Whoso keepeth 5341 z8802 the fig tree 8384 shall eat 398 z8799 the fruit 6529 thereof: so he that waiteth 8104 z8802 on his adon 113 shall be honoured. 3513 z8792

 27:19 As in water 4325 face 6440 [answereth] to face, 6440 so x3651 the heart 3820 of man 120 to man. 120

 27:20 Hell 7585 and destruction 10 y11 z8675 are never 3808 full; 7646 z8799 so the eyes 5869 of man 120 are never x3808 satisfied. 7646 z8799

 27:21 [As] the fining pot 4715 for silver, 3701 and the furnace 3564 for gold; 2091 so [is] a man 376 to 6310 his praise. 4110

 27:22 Though x518 thou shouldest bray 3806 z8799 x853 a fool 191 in a mortar 4388 among 8432 wheat 7383 with a pestle, 5940 [yet] will not x3808 his foolishness 200 depart 5493 z8799 from x4480 x5921 him.

 27:23 Be thou diligent y3045 z8799 to know 3045 z8800 the state 6440 of thy flocks, 6629 [and] look 7896 z8798 x3820 well y3820 to thy herds. 5739

 27:24 For x3588 riches 2633 [are] not x3808 for ever: 5769 and doth x518 the crown 5145 [endure] to every y1755 generation? 1755

 27:25 The hay 2682 appeareth, 1540 z8804 and the tender grass 1877 sheweth y7200 z8738 itself, x7200 and herbs 6212 of the mountains 2022 are gathered. 622 z8738

 27:26 The lambs 3532 [are] for thy clothing, 3830 and the goats 6260 [are] the price 4242 of the field. 7704

 27:27 And [thou shalt have] goats' 5795 milk 2461 enough 1767 for thy food, 3899 for the food 3899 of thy household, 1004 and [for] the maintenance 2416 for thy maidens. 5291
