Proverbios 27
Dios Habla Hoy
27 No presumas del día de mañana,
pues no sabes lo que el mañana traerá.
2 Deja que sean otros los que te alaben;
no está bien que te alabes tú mismo.
3 Las piedras y la arena son pesadas,
pero más pesado es el enojo del necio.
4 La ira es cruel, y el enojo destructivo,
pero los celos son incontrolables.
5 Vale más reprender con franqueza
que amar en secreto.
6 Más se puede confiar en el amigo que hiere
que en el enemigo que besa.
7 El que está lleno, hasta la miel desprecia;
al que tiene hambre, hasta lo amargo le sabe dulce.
8 Como ave que vaga lejos de su nido
es el que anda lejos del lugar donde nació.
9 Para alegrar el corazón, buenos perfumes;
para endulzar el alma, un consejo de amigos.
10 Nunca abandones a tus amigos
ni a los amigos de tu padre.
Nunca vayas con tus problemas
a la casa de tu hermano.
Más vale vecino cercano
que hermano lejano.
11 Sé sabio, hijo mío, y me harás feliz;
así podré responder a los que me ofendan.
12 El prudente ve el peligro y lo evita;
el imprudente sigue adelante y sufre el daño.
13 Al que salga fiador por un extraño,
quítale la ropa y tómasela en prenda.
14 Saludar al amigo a gritos y de madrugada,
es para él lo mismo que insultarlo.
15 Lo mismo es una mujer pendenciera
que una gotera constante en tiempo de lluvia.
16 Querer detenerla es querer detener el viento
o retener el aceite en la mano.
17 El hierro se afila con hierro,
y el hombre con otro hombre.
18 El que cuida de la higuera come los higos;
el que cuida de su amo recibe honores.
19 Así como las caras se reflejan en el agua,
así también los hombres se reflejan en su mente.
20 La muerte, el sepulcro y la codicia del hombre
jamás quedan satisfechos.
21 Al oro y la plata, el fuego los prueba;
al hombre lo prueban las alabanzas.
22 Al necio no se le quita lo necio
ni aunque lo muelas y lo remuelas.
23 Manténte al tanto de tus ovejas,
preocúpate por tus rebaños,
24 pues ni riquezas ni coronas
duran eternamente.
25 Cuando el pasto aparezca, y brote el verdor,
y se recoja la hierba de los montes,
26 de tus corderos tendrás lana para vestirte,
de tus cabritos dinero para comprar terrenos
27 y de tus cabras leche abundante
para alimentarte tú y tu familia
y todos los que estén a tu servicio.
Proverbs 27
New International Version
Proverbs 27
New International Version
2 Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth;
an outsider, and not your own lips.(C)
3 Stone is heavy and sand(D) a burden,
but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
4 Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming,
but who can stand before jealousy?(E)
5 Better is open rebuke
than hidden love.
6 Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
but an enemy multiplies kisses.(F)
7 One who is full loathes honey from the comb,
but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.
8 Like a bird that flees its nest(G)
is anyone who flees from home.
9 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.
15 A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping(N)
of a leaky roof in a rainstorm;
16 restraining her is like restraining the wind
or grasping oil with the hand.
17 As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another.
18 The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit,(O)
and whoever protects their master will be honored.(P)
19 As water reflects the face,
so one’s life reflects the heart.[a]
21 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,(S)
but people are tested by their praise.
22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar,
grinding them like grain with a pestle,
you will not remove their folly from them.
23 Be sure you know the condition of your flocks,(T)
give careful attention to your herds;
24 for riches do not endure forever,(U)
and a crown is not secure for all generations.
25 When the hay is removed and new growth appears
and the grass from the hills is gathered in,
26 the lambs will provide you with clothing,
and the goats with the price of a field.
27 You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed your family
and to nourish your female servants.

Proverbs 27
New Century Version
Proverbs 27
New Century Version
27 Don’t brag about tomorrow;
you don’t know what may happen then.
2 Don’t praise yourself. Let someone else do it.
Let the praise come from a stranger and not from your own mouth.
3 Stone is heavy, and sand is weighty,
but a complaining fool is worse than either.
4 Anger is cruel and destroys like a flood,
but no one can put up with jealousy!
5 It is better to correct someone openly
than to have love and not show it.
6 The slap of a friend can be trusted to help you,
but the kisses of an enemy are nothing but lies.
7 When you are full, not even honey tastes good,
but when you are hungry, even something bitter tastes sweet.
8 A person who leaves his home
is like a bird that leaves its nest.
9 The sweet smell of perfume and oils is pleasant,
and so is good advice from a friend.
10 Don’t forget your friend or your parent’s friend.
Don’t always go to your family for help when trouble comes.
A neighbor close by is better than a family far away.
11 Be wise, my child, and make me happy.
Then I can respond to any insult.
12 The wise see danger ahead and avoid it,
but fools keep going and get into trouble.
13 Take the coat of someone who promises to pay a stranger’s loan,
and keep it until he pays what the stranger owes.
14 If you loudly greet your neighbor early in the morning,
he will think of it as a curse.
15 A quarreling wife is as bothersome
as a continual dripping on a rainy day.
16 Stopping her is like stopping the wind
or trying to grab oil in your hand.
17 As iron sharpens iron,
so people can improve each other.
18 Whoever tends a fig tree gets to eat its fruit,
and whoever takes care of his master will receive honor.
19 As water reflects your face,
so your mind shows what kind of person you are.
20 People will never stop dying and being destroyed,
and they will never stop wanting more than they have.
21 A hot furnace tests silver and gold,
and people are tested by the praise they receive.
22 Even if you ground up a foolish person like grain in a bowl,
you couldn’t remove the foolishness.
23 Be sure you know how your sheep are doing,
and pay attention to the condition of your cattle.
24 Riches will not go on forever,
nor do governments go on forever.
25 Bring in the hay, and let the new grass appear.
Gather the grass from the hills.
26 Make clothes from the lambs’ wool,
and sell some goats to buy a field.
27 There will be plenty of goat’s milk
to feed you and your family
and to make your servant girls healthy.
