Proverbios 27
Reina Valera Actualizada
27 No te jactes del día de mañana, porque no sabes qué dará de sí el día.
2 Que te alabe el extraño, y no tu propia boca;
el ajeno y no tus propios labios.
3 Pesada es la piedra;
también la arena pesa.
Pero el enojo del insensato es más pesado que ambas.
4 Cruel es la ira e impetuoso el furor; pero, ¿quién podrá mantenerse en pie delante de los celos?
5 Mejor es la reprensión manifiesta que el amor oculto.
6 Fieles son las heridas que causa el que ama,
pero engañosos[a] son los besos del que aborrece.
7 La persona saciada desprecia el panal, pero para la hambrienta
todo lo amargo es dulce.
8 Como el ave que vaga lejos de su nido, así es el hombre que vaga lejos
de su lugar.
9 El aceite y el perfume alegran el corazón; y la dulzura de un amigo más que
el consejo del alma[b].
10 No abandones a tu amigo ni al amigo de tu padre,
y no vayas a la casa de tu hermano
en el día de tu infortunio;
pues es mejor el vecino cerca que
el hermano lejos.
11 Sé sabio, hijo mío, y alegra mi corazón; así tendré qué responder al que me ultraja.
12 El prudente ve el mal y se esconde, pero los ingenuos pasan y
reciben el daño.
13 Quítale su ropa al que salió fiador del extraño,
y tómale prenda al que se fía
de la mujer ajena.
14 Al que bendice a su prójimo en alta voz, madrugando de mañana,
se le contará por maldición.
15 Gotera continua en un día de lluvia
y mujer rencillosa son semejantes;
16 sujetarla es sujetar al viento
o al aceite en la mano derecha[c].
17 El hierro con hierro se afila
y el hombre afina el semblante
de su amigo.
18 El que cuida de su higuera comerá
de su fruto,
y el que atiende a su señor
logrará honra.
19 Como el agua refleja la cara, así el corazón del hombre refleja
al hombre.
20 El Seol y el Abadón nunca se sacian; así nunca se sacian los ojos del hombre.
21 El crisol prueba la plata, la hornaza
el oro;
y al hombre, la boca del que lo alaba.
22 Aunque machaques al insensato con el pisón de un mortero en medio del grano,
no se apartará de su insensatez.
23 Considera atentamente el estado
de tu ganado;
presta atención a tus rebaños.
24 Porque las riquezas no duran para siempre
ni se transmite una corona de generación en generación.
25 Saldrá la grama, aparecerá la hierba,
y serán recogidas las plantas de
las colinas.
26 Los corderos proveerán para tu vestido, y los machos cabríos para el precio del campo.
27 La abundancia de la leche de las cabras será para tu sustento
y para el sustento de tu casa y de tus criadas.

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
English Standard Version
Proverbs 27
English Standard Version
27 Do not boast about tomorrow,
(A)for you do not know what a day may bring.
2 Let (B)another praise you, and not your own mouth;
a stranger, and not your own lips.
3 A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty,
but (C)a fool's provocation is heavier than both.
4 Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming,
but who can stand before (D)jealousy?
5 (E)Better is open rebuke
than hidden love.
6 Faithful are (F)the wounds of a friend;
profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
7 One who is full loathes (G)honey,
but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet.
8 Like (H)a bird that strays from its nest
is a man who strays from his home.
9 (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.
15 (S)A continual dripping on a rainy day
and a quarrelsome wife are alike;
16 to restrain her is to restrain the wind
or to grasp[c] oil in one's right hand.
17 Iron sharpens iron,
and one man sharpens another.[d]
18 (T)Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit,
and he who (U)guards his master will be honored.
19 As in water face reflects face,
so the heart of man reflects the man.
20 (V)Sheol and Abaddon are (W)never satisfied,
and (X)never satisfied are the eyes of man.
21 (Y)The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,
and a man is tested by his praise.
22 (Z)Crush a fool in a mortar with a pestle
along with crushed grain,
yet his folly will not depart from him.
23 (AA)Know well the condition of your flocks,
and (AB)give attention to your herds,
24 for (AC)riches do not last forever;
and does a crown endure to all generations?
25 (AD)When the grass is gone and the new growth appears
and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
26 (AE)the lambs will provide your clothing,
and the goats the price of a field.
27 (AF)There will be enough goats' milk for your food,
for the food of your household
and maintenance for your girls.
