Proverbs 27章 ESV | 微读圣经

1Do not boast about tomorrow,

27:1 Luke 12:19, 20; James 4:13, 14for you do not know what a day may bring.

2Let 27:2 2 Cor. 10:12, 18; [ch. 25:27; 2 Cor. 12:11]another praise you, and not your own mouth;

a stranger, and not your own lips.

3A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty,

but 27:3 [ch. 12:16; 17:12]a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.

4Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming,

but who can stand before 27:4 ch. 6:34jealousy?

527:5 [ch. 28:23]Better is open rebuke

than hidden love.

6Faithful are 27:6 Ps. 141:5the wounds of a friend;

profuse are the kisses of an enemy.

7One who is full loathes 27:7 [ch. 25:16]honey,

but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet.

8Like 27:8 ch. 26:2a bird that strays from its nest

is a man who strays from his home.

927:9 [Ps. 23:5]Oil and perfume make the heart glad,

and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.27:9 Or and so does the sweetness of a friend that comes from his earnest counsel

10Do not forsake your friend and 27:10 See 1 Kgs. 12:6-8; 2 Chr. 10:6-8your father’s friend,

and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity.

27:10 See ch. 17:17Better is a neighbor who is near

than a brother who is far away.

1127:11 ch. 6:6Be wise, 27:11 ch. 10:1; 23:15, 24my son, and 27:11 See ch. 29:3make my heart glad,

that I may 27:11 Ps. 119:42; [Ps. 127:5]answer him who reproaches me.

1227:12 ch. 22:3The prudent sees danger and hides himself,

but 27:12 See ch. 1:4the simple go on and suffer for it.

1327:13 See ch. 20:16Take a man’s garment when he has put up security for a stranger,

and hold it in pledge when he puts up security for an adulteress.27:13 Hebrew a foreign woman; a slight emendation yields (compare Vulgate; see also 20:16) foreigners

14Whoever blesses his neighbor with a loud voice,

rising early in the morning,

will be counted as cursing.

1527:15 ch. 19:13A continual dripping on a rainy day

and a quarrelsome wife are alike;

16to restrain her is to restrain the wind

or to grasp27:16 Hebrew to meet with oil in one’s right hand.

17Iron sharpens iron,

and one man sharpens another.27:17 Hebrew sharpens the face of another

1827:18 Song 8:12; 1 Cor. 3:8; 9:7; 2 Tim. 2:6Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit,

and he who 27:18 [Matt. 25:21]guards his master will be honored.

19As in water face reflects face,

so the heart of man reflects the man.

2027:20 ch. 15:11; See Job 26:6Sheol and Abaddon are 27:20 ch. 30:15, 16; Hab. 2:5; [ch. 1:12] never satisfied,

and 27:20 Eccles. 1:8; 4:8never satisfied are the eyes of man.

2127:21 ch. 17:3The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,

and a man is tested by his praise.

2227:22 [ch. 23:35; Isa. 1:5; Jer. 5:3]Crush a fool in a mortar with a pestle

along with crushed grain,

yet his folly will not depart from him.

2327:23 [John 10:3, 14; Acts 20:28; 1 Pet. 5:2, 4]Know well the condition of your flocks,

and 27:23 [John 10:3, 14; Acts 20:28; 1 Pet. 5:2, 4]give attention to your herds,

24for 27:24 ch. 23:5riches do not last forever;

and does a crown endure to all generations?

2527:25 Ps. 37:2; 90:5, 6When the grass is gone and the new growth appears

and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,

2627:26 [1 Tim. 6:8]the lambs will provide your clothing,

and the goats the price of a field.

2727:27 [See ver. 26above]There will be enough goats’ milk for your food,

for the food of your household

and maintenance for your girls.
