Proverbios 27
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
27 No te jactes del día de mañana,
porque no sabes lo que el día traerá.
2 No te jactes de ti mismo;
que sean otros los que te alaben.
3 Pesada es la piedra, pesada es la arena,
pero más pesada es la ira del necio.
4 Cruel es la furia, y arrolladora la ira,
pero ¿quién puede enfrentarse a la envidia?
5 Más vale ser reprendido con franqueza
que ser amado en secreto.
6 Más confiable es el amigo que hiere
que el enemigo que besa.
7 Al que no tiene hambre, hasta la miel lo empalaga;
al hambriento, hasta lo amargo le es dulce.
8 Como ave que vaga lejos del nido
es el hombre que vaga lejos del hogar.
9 El perfume y el incienso alegran el corazón;
la dulzura de la amistad fortalece el ánimo.[a]
10 No abandones a tu amigo ni al amigo de tu padre.
No vayas a la casa de tu hermano cuando tengas un problema.
Más vale vecino cercano que hermano distante.
11 Hijo mío, sé sabio y alegra mi corazón;
así podré responder a los que me desprecian.
12 El prudente ve el peligro y lo evita;
el inexperto sigue adelante y sufre las consecuencias.
13 Toma la prenda del que salga fiador por un extraño;
retenla en garantía si la entrega por la mujer ajena.
14 El mejor saludo se juzga una impertinencia
cuando se da a gritos y de madrugada.
15 Gotera constante en un día lluvioso
es la mujer que siempre pelea.
16 Quien la domine podrá dominar el viento
y retener[b] aceite en la mano.
17 El hierro se afila con el hierro,
y el hombre en el trato con el hombre.
18 El que cuida de la higuera comerá de sus higos,
y el que vela por su amo recibirá honores.
19 En el agua se refleja el rostro,
y en el corazón se refleja la persona.
20 El sepulcro, la muerte y los ojos del hombre
jamás se dan por satisfechos.
21 En el crisol se prueba la plata;
en el horno se prueba el oro;
ante las alabanzas, el hombre.
22 Aunque al necio lo muelas y lo remuelas,
y lo machaques como al grano,
no le quitarás la necedad.
23 Asegúrate de saber cómo están tus rebaños;
cuida mucho de tus ovejas;
24 pues las riquezas no son eternas
ni la fortuna está siempre segura.
25 Cuando se limpien los campos y brote el verdor,
y en los montes se recoja la hierba,
26 las ovejas te darán para el vestido,
y las cabras para comprar un campo;
27 tendrás leche de cabra en abundancia
para que os alimentéis tú y tu familia,
y toda tu servidumbre.
Proverbs 27
New King James Version
Proverbs 27
New King James Version
My Son, Be Wise
27 Do(A) not boast about tomorrow,
For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
2 (B)Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth;
A stranger, and not your own lips.
3 A stone is heavy and sand is weighty,
But a fool’s wrath is heavier than both of them.
4 Wrath is cruel and anger a torrent,
But (C)who is able to stand before jealousy?
5 (D)Open rebuke is better
Than love carefully concealed.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
But the kisses of an enemy are (E)deceitful.
7 A satisfied soul [a]loathes the honeycomb,
But to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8 Like a bird that wanders from its nest
Is a man who wanders from his place.
9 Ointment and perfume delight the heart,
And the sweetness of a man’s friend gives delight by [b]hearty counsel.
10 Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend,
Nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;
(F)Better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
(G)That I may answer him who reproaches me.
12 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself;
The simple pass on and are (H)punished.
13 Take the garment of him who is surety for a stranger,
And hold it in pledge when he is surety for a seductress.
14 He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning,
It will be counted a curse to him.
15 A (I)continual dripping on a very rainy day
And a contentious woman are alike;
16 Whoever [c]restrains her restrains the wind,
And grasps oil with his right hand.
17 As iron sharpens iron,
So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
18 (J)Whoever [d]keeps the fig tree will eat its fruit;
So he who waits on his master will be honored.
19 As in water face reflects face,
So a man’s heart reveals the man.
21 (M)The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
And a man is valued by what others say of him.
22 (N)Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,
Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
23 Be diligent to know the state of your (O)flocks,
And attend to your herds;
24 For riches are not forever,
Nor does a crown endure to all generations.
25 (P)When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself,
And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,
26 The lambs will provide your clothing,
And the goats the price of a field;
27 You shall have enough goats’ milk for your food,
For the food of your household,
And the nourishment of your maidservants.

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.
