Douay Bible - Proverbs Chapter 27

Proverbs 27:1
Boast not for to morrow, for thou knowest not what the day to come may bring forth.

Proverbs 27:2
Let another praise thee, and not thy own mouth: a stranger, and not thy own lips.

Proverbs 27:3
A stone is heavy, and sand weighty: but the anger of a fool is heavier than them both.

Proverbs 27:4
Anger hath no mercy, nor fury when it breaketh forth: and who can bear the violence of one provoked?

Proverbs 27:5
Open rebuke is better than hidden love.

Proverbs 27:6
Better are the wounds of a friend, than the deceitful kisses of an enemy.

Proverbs 27:7
A soul that is full shall tread upon the honeycomb : and a soul that is hungry shall take even bitter for sweet.

Proverbs 27:8
As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that leaveth his place.

Proverbs 27:9
Ointment and perfumes rejoice the heart: and the good counsels of a friend are sweet to the soul.

Proverbs 27:10
Thy own friend, and thy father’s friend forsake not: and go not into thy brother’s house in the day of thy affliction. Better is a neighbour that is near, than a brother afar off.

Proverbs 27:11
Study wisdom, my son, and make my heart joyful, that thou mayst give an answer to him that reproacheth.

Proverbs 27:12
The prudent man seeing evil hideth himself: little ones passing on have suffered losses.

Proverbs 27:13
Take away his garment that hath been surety for a stranger: and take from him a pledge for strangers.

He that blesseth his neighbour with a loud voice, rising in the night, shall be like to him that curseth.

Proverbs 27:15
Roofs dropping through in a cold day, and a contentious woman are alike.

Proverbs 27:16
He that retaineth her, is as he that would hold the wind, and shall call in the oil of his right hand.

Proverbs 27:17
Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

Proverbs 27:18
He that keepeth the fig tree, shall eat the fruit thereof: and he that is the keeper of his master, shall be glorified.

Proverbs 27:19
As the faces of them that look therein, shine in the water, so the hearts of men are laid open to the wise.

Proverbs 27:20
Hell and destruction are never filled: so the eyes of men are never satisfied.

Proverbs 27:21
As silver is tried in the fining-pot and gold in the furnace: so a man is tried by the mouth of him that praiseth. The heart of the wicked seeketh after evils, but the righteous heart seeketh after knowledge.

Proverbs 27:22
Though thou shouldst bray a fool in the mortar, as when a pestle striketh upon sodden barley, his folly would not be taken from him.

Proverbs 27:23
Be diligent to know the countenance of thy cattle, and consider thy own flocks :

Proverbs 27:24
For thou shalt not always have power: but a crown shall be given to generation and generation.

Proverbs 27:25
The meadows are open, and the green herbs have appeared, and the hay is gathered out of the mountains.

Proverbs 27:26
Lambs are for thy clothing: and kids for the price of the field.

Proverbs 27:27
Let the milk of the goats be enough for thy food, and for the necessities of thy house, and for maintenance for thy handmaids.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
