Proverbios 27
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
27 No te gloríes del día de mañana(A),
Porque no sabes qué traerá el día(B).
2 Que te alabe el extraño, y no tu boca;
El extranjero, y no tus labios(C).
3 Pesada es la piedra y pesada la arena,
Pero la provocación del necio es más pesada que ambas.
4 Cruel es el furor e inundación la ira;
Pero ¿quién se mantendrá ante los celos(D)?
5 Mejor es la reprensión franca(E)
Que el amor encubierto.
6 Fieles son las heridas del amigo(F),
Pero engañosos[a] los besos del enemigo[b](G).
7 El hombre[c] saciado aborrece[d] la miel,
Pero para el hombre[e] hambriento todo lo amargo le es dulce.
8 Como pájaro que vaga lejos de su nido(H),
Así es el hombre que vaga lejos de su hogar[f](I).
9 El ungüento(J) y el perfume alegran el corazón,
Y dulce para su amigo es el consejo del hombre[g].
10 No abandones a tu amigo(K) ni al amigo de tu padre(L),
Ni vayas a la casa de tu hermano el día de tu infortunio.
Mejor es un vecino cerca que un hermano lejos.
11 Sé sabio, hijo mío, y alegra mi corazón(M),
Para que yo responda al que me afrenta(N).
12 El hombre prudente ve el mal y se esconde,
Los simples siguen adelante y pagan las consecuencias.
13 Tómale la ropa al que[h] sale fiador del extraño;
Y tómale prenda por la mujer desconocida[i](O).
14 Al que muy de mañana bendice a su amigo en alta voz,
Le será contado como una maldición(P).
15 Gotera constante en día de lluvia
Y mujer rencillosa, son semejantes(Q);
16 El que trata de contenerla[j], es como refrenar[k] al viento
Y recoger[l] aceite con su mano derecha.
17 El hierro con hierro se afila,
Y un hombre aguza a otro[m].
18 El que cuida la higuera comerá su fruto(R),
Y el que atiende a su señor será honrado(S).
19 Como el agua refleja el rostro[n],
Así el corazón del hombre refleja al hombre.
20 El Seol[o] y el Abadón[p](T) nunca se sacian(U);
Tampoco se sacian los ojos del hombre(V).
21 El crisol es para la plata y el horno para el oro(W),
Y al hombre se le prueba por la alabanza que recibe(X).
22 Aunque machaques con el mazo al necio en un mortero entre el grano molido,
No se apartará de él su necedad(Y).
23 ¶Conoce bien la condición[q] de tus rebaños,
Y presta atención[r] a tu ganado(Z);
24 Porque las riquezas no son eternas,
Ni perdurará la corona por todas las generaciones(AA).
25 Cuando la hierba desaparece se ve el retoño,
Y se recogen las hierbas de los montes(AB);
26 Los corderos darán para tu vestido,
Y las cabras para el precio de un campo,
27 Y habrá suficiente leche de cabra para tu alimento,
Para el alimento de tu casa,
Y sustento para tus doncellas.

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
King James Version
Proverbs 27
King James Version
27 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
10 Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
27 And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

Instructions and Warnings
27 (A)Do not boast about tomorrow,
For you (B)do not know what a day may bring forth.
2 Let a (C)stranger praise you, and not your own mouth;
A foreigner, and not your own lips.
3 A stone is heavy and the sand weighty,
But the provocation of an ignorant fool is heavier than both of them.
4 Wrath is cruelty and anger is a flood,
But (D)who can stand before jealousy?
5 Better is reproof that is (E)revealed
Than love that is hidden.
6 Faithful are the (F)wounds of a friend,
But [a]deceitful are the (G)kisses of an enemy.
7 A satisfied soul tramples the honeycomb,
But to a hungry soul any bitter thing is sweet.
8 Like a (H)bird that wanders from her nest,
So is a man who (I)wanders from his place.
9 (J)Oil and incense make the heart glad,
So counsel from the [b]soul is sweet to his friend.
10 Do not forsake your (K)friend or (L)your father’s friend,
And do not come to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster;
Better is one who dwells near than a brother far away.
11 (M)Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad,
That I may (N)respond with a word to him who reproaches me.
12 A prudent man sees evil and hides,
The simple pass on and are punished.
13 (O)Take his garment when he becomes a guarantor for a stranger;
And for [c]a foreign woman seize it as a pledge.
14 (P)He who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning,
It will be counted as a curse to him.
15 A (Q)constant dripping on a day of steady rain
And a contentious woman are alike;
16 He who would [d]restrain her [e]restrains the wind,
And [f]grasps oil with his right hand.
17 Iron sharpens iron,
So one man sharpens another.
18 He who guards the (R)fig tree will eat its fruit,
And he who (S)keeps watch for his master will be honored.
19 As in water face reflects face,
So the heart of man reflects man.
20 (T)Sheol and Abaddon are (U)never satisfied,
So the (V)eyes of man are never satisfied.
21 The (W)refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
And each (X)is tested by the mouth that praises him.
22 Though you (Y)pound an ignorant fool in a mortar with a pestle in the midst of crushed grain,
His [g]folly will not turn aside from him.
23 (Z)Know well the [h]condition of your flocks,
And pay attention to your herds;
24 For wealth is not forever,
Neither is a (AA)crown from generation to generation.
25 When the grass disappears and the vegetation appears,
And the herbs of the mountains are (AB)gathered in,
26 The lambs will be for your clothing,
And the goats will bring the price of a field,
27 And there will be enough goats’ milk for your food,
For the food of your household,
And sustenance for your maidens.
