He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning,
it will be taken as a curse by him.
He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning,
it will be taken as a curse by him.
Proverbs 27:11–17
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!
He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning,
it will be taken as a curse by him.
A continual dropping on a rainy day
and a contentious wife are alike:
restraining her is like restraining the wind,
or like grasping oil in his right hand.
Iron sharpens iron;
so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.
