Proverbs 27 ASV |
| 1 Boast not thyself of tomorrow; 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 vexation is heavier than they both. 4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; But who is able to stand before jealousy? 5 Better is open rebuke Than love that is hidden. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; But the kisses of an enemy are profuse. 7 The full soul loatheth a 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 Oil and perfume rejoice the heart; So doth the sweetness of a man's friend that cometh of hearty counsel. 10 Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; And go not to thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: Better is a neighbor 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 seeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it. 13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; And hold him in pledge that is surety for a foreign woman.

Proverbs 28 ASV |
| 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 men of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. 3 A needy 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 justice; But they that seek Jehovah understand all things. 6 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, 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 gluttons shameth his father. 8 He that augmenteth his substance by interest and increase, Gathereth it for him that hath pity on the poor. 9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination. 10 Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, He shall fall himself into his own pit; But the perfect shall inherit good. 11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; But the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. 12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves. This chapter has 28 verses |

Proverbs 29 ASV |
| 1 He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck Shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. 2 When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man beareth rule, the people sigh. 3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; But he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth his substance. 4 The king by justice establisheth the land; But he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it. 5 A man that flattereth his neighbor Spreadeth a net for his steps. 6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; But the righteous doth sing and rejoice. 7 The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; The wicked hath not understanding to know it. 8 Scoffers set a city in a flame; But wise men turn away wrath. 9 If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man, Whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest. 10 The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect; And as for the upright, they seek his life. 11 A fool uttereth all his anger; But a wise man keepeth it back and stilleth it. 12 If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, All his servants are wicked. 13 The poor man and the oppressor meet together; Jehovah lighteneth the eyes of them both. 14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, His throne shall be established for ever. This chapter has 27 verses |
