Part 29

20:027:014 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

20:027:015 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

20:027:016 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.

20:027:017 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

20:027:018 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

20:027:019 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

20:027:020 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

20:027:021 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.

20:027:022 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

20:027:023 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.

20:027:024 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?

20:027:025 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.

20:027:026 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.

20:027:027 And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

20:028:001 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

20:028:002 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

20:028:003 A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

20:028:004 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

20:028:005 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

20:028:006 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

20:028:007 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

20:028:008 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

20:028:009 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

20:028:010 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.

20:028:011 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

20:028:012 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.

20:028:013 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

20:028:014 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
