Proverbs_Chapter 27

Don’t boast about tomorrow, because you still don’t know what will happen in one day.

If you want others to praise you, don’t boast about yourself. Wait for outsiders to praise you, don’t use your mouth to claim yourself.

Those who guard the fig tree will eat the fruit on the tree. Those who worship their masters will receive honor.

The cauldron is used for refining silver, the furnace is used for refining gold, and a person’s praise tests them.

Although you use a pestle to crush a foolish person with crushed wheat in a mortar, his foolishness still cannot be separated from him.

You need to know in detail the condition of your flock. Take care of your cattle herd.

Because wealth cannot last forever. How can a crown last for generations.

The hay is cut off, the tender grass is discovered, and the vegetables on the mountain are also restrained.
