Proverbs 27:12-19

1. 12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

2. 13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

3. 14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

4. 15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

5. 16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.

6. 17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

7. 18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

8. 19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
