20:027:012 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished. 20:027:013 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. 20:027:014 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. 20:027:015 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. 20:027:016 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself. 20:027:017 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. 20:027:018 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured. 20:027:019 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. 20:027:020 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. 20:027:021 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise. 20:027:022 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him. 20:027:023 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. 20:027:024 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? 20:027:025 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 20:027:026 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. 20:027:027 And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens. 20:028:001 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. 20:028:002 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. 20:028:003 A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. 20:028:004 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. 20:028:005 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things. 20:028:006 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. 20:028:007 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father. 20:028:008 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. 20:028:009 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
