Proverbs Chapter 27

1 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 sheweth 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.

Proverbs Chapter 28

1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a 
lion.

2 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a 
man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which 
leaveth no food.

4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law 
contend with them.

5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD 
understand all things.

6 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is 
perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of 
riotous men shameth his father.

8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall 
gather it for him that will pity the poor.

9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer 
shall be abomination.

10 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall 
fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in 
possession.

11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath 
understanding searcheth him out.

12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the 
wicked rise, a man is hidden.

13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and 
forsaketh them shall have mercy.

14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart 
shall fall into mischief.

15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the 
poor people.

16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but 
he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to 
the pit; let no man stay him.

18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in 
his ways shall fall at once.

19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that 
followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste 
to be rich shall not be innocent.

21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that 
man will transgress.

22 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that 
poverty shall come upon him.

23 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that 
flattereth with the tongue.

24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no 
transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth 
his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh 
wisely, he shall be delivered.

27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his 
eyes shall have many a curse.

28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the 
righteous increase.

Proverbs Chapter 29

1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be 
destroyed, and that without remedy.

2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the 
wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company 
with harlots spendeth his substance.

4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth 
gifts overthroweth it.

5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the 
righteous doth sing and rejoice.

7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked 
regardeth not to know it.

8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, 
there is no rest.

10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.

11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till 
afterwards.

12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth 
both their eyes.

14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be 
established for ever.

15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth 
his mother to shame.

16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the 
righteous shall see their fall.

17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give 
delight unto thy soul.

18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the 
law, happy is he.

19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he 
will not answer.

20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a 
fool than of him.

21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have 
him become his son at the length.

22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in 
transgression.

23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble 
in spirit.

24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth 
cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the 
LORD shall be safe.

26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from 
the LORD.

27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright 
in the way is abomination to the wicked.
