38 (A)There was also an inscription over him,[a] “This is (B)the King of the Jews.”

39 (C)One of the criminals who were hanged (D)railed at him,[b] saying, “Are you not (E)the Christ? Save yourself and us!” 40 But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 And he said, “Jesus, remember me (F)when you come into your kingdom.” 43 And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in (G)paradise.”

27 Do not boast about tomorrow,
    (A)for you do not know what a day may bring.
Let (B)another praise you, and not your own mouth;
    a stranger, and not your own lips.
A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty,
    but (C)a fool's provocation is heavier than both.
Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming,
    but who can stand before (D)jealousy?
(E)Better is open rebuke
    than hidden love.
Faithful are (F)the wounds of a friend;
    profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
One who is full loathes (G)honey,
    but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet.
Like (H)a bird that strays from its nest
    is a man who strays from his home.
(I)Oil and perfume make the heart glad,
    and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.[a]
10 Do not forsake your friend and (J)your father's friend,
    and do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity.
(K)Better is a neighbor who is near
    than a brother who is far away.
11 (L)Be wise, (M)my son, and (N)make my heart glad,
    that I may (O)answer him who reproaches me.
12 (P)The prudent sees danger and hides himself,
    but (Q)the simple go on and suffer for it.
13 (R)Take 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.[b]
14 Whoever blesses his neighbor with a loud voice,
    rising early in the morning,
    will be counted as cursing.

  1. Proverbs 27:9 Or and so does the sweetness of a friend that comes from his earnest counsel
  2. Proverbs 27:13 Hebrew a foreign woman; a slight emendation yields (compare Vulgate; see also 20:16) foreigners

27 Do not boast(A) about tomorrow,
    for you do not know what a day may bring.(B)

Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth;
    an outsider, and not your own lips.(C)

Stone is heavy and sand(D) a burden,
    but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.

Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming,
    but who can stand before jealousy?(E)

Better is open rebuke
    than hidden love.

Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
    but an enemy multiplies kisses.(F)

One who is full loathes honey from the comb,
    but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.

Like a bird that flees its nest(G)
    is anyone who flees from home.

Perfume(H) and incense bring joy to the heart,
    and the pleasantness of a friend
    springs from their heartfelt advice.

10 Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family,
    and do not go to your relative’s house when disaster(I) strikes you—
    better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.

11 Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart;(J)
    then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.(K)

12 The prudent see danger and take refuge,
    but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.(L)

13 Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
    hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.(M)

14 If anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning,
    it will be taken as a curse.
