Proverbs 27 Bishops' Bible 1568

From Textus Receptus

Pro 27:1 Make not thy boast of to morowe: for thou knowest not what a day may bring foorth. Pro 27:2 Let another man prayse thee, and not thyne owne mouth, yea other folkes, and not thyne owne lippes. Pro 27:3 The stone is heauie, and the sande wayghtie: but a fooles wrath is heauier then them both. Pro 27:4 Wrath is a cruell thing, and furiousnesse is a very tempest: but who is able to abide enuie? Pro 27:5 Open rebuke, is better then secrete loue. Pro 27:6 Faythfull are the woundes of a louer: but the kysses of an enemie are cruell. Pro 27:7 He that is full, abhorreth an honye combe: but vnto hym that is hungrye, euery sowre thing is sweete. Pro 27:8 He that oft times flitteth, is like a byrd that forsaketh her nest. Pro 27:9 Baulme and sweete incense make the heart merie: so sweete is that frende that geueth counsell from the heart. Pro 27:10 Thyne owne frende and thy fathers frende see thou forsake not, and go not into thy brothers house in tyme of thy trouble: for better is a frende at hand, then a brother farre of. Pro 27:11 My sonne be wyse, and make me a glad heart, that I may make aunswere vnto my rebukers. Pro 27:12 A wyse man seing the plague, wyll hide hym selfe: as for fooles they go on styll and suffer harme. Pro 27:13 Take his garment that is suretie for a straunger, and take a pledge of hym for the vnknowen sake. Pro 27:14 He that is to hastie to praise his neighbour aboue measure, shalbe taken as one that geueth hym an euyll report. Pro 27:15 A brawling woman and the roofe of the house dropping in a raynie day, may well be compared together. Pro 27:16 He that stilleth her, stilleth the winde, and stoppeth the smell of the oyntment in his hande. Pro 27:17 Like as one iron whetteth another, so doth one man comfort another. Pro 27:18 Whoso kepeth his figge tree, shall eate the fruites thereof: so he that wayteth vpon his maister, shall come to honour. Pro 27:19 Like as in one water there appeare diuers faces: euen so diuers men haue diuers heartes. Pro 27:20 Hell and destruction are neuer full: euen so the eyes of men can neuer be satisfied. Pro 27:21 As is the fining pot for the siluer, and the furnace for golde: so is a man tryed by the mouth of him that prayseth him. Pro 27:22 Though thou shouldest bray a foole with a pestel in a morter like furmentie corne: yet wyll not his foolishnes go from hym. Pro 27:23 Be thou diligent to knowe the state of thy cattell thy selfe, and loke well to thy flockes. Pro 27:24 For riches abideth not alway, and the crowne endureth not for euer. Pro 27:25 The hay groweth, the grasse commeth vp, and hearbes are gathered in the mountaynes. Pro 27:26 The lambes shall clothe thee, and for the goates thou shalt haue money to thy husbandry. Pro 27:27 Thou shalt haue goates milke inough to feede thee, to vpholde thy housholde, and to sustayne thy maydens.
