Proverbs 27:11–17

11

Be wise, my son,

and bring joy to my heart,

then I can answer my tormentor.

A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge;

but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.

Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger.

Hold it for a wayward woman!

Selected verse

He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning,

it will be taken as a curse by him.

15

A continual dropping on a rainy day

and a contentious wife are alike:

16

restraining her is like restraining the wind,

or like grasping oil in his right hand.

17

Iron sharpens iron;

so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.
