General Counsel

27Never brag about the day to come, because you don't know what it might bring.H1984H4279H3045H3117H3205 2Let someone else praise you, not your own mouth; a stranger, and never your own lips.H2114H1984H6310H5237H8193 3Rocks are heavy, and sand is weighty, but a fool's provocation outweighs them both.H68H3514H2344H5192H191H3708H3515H8147 4Wrath can be fierce and anger overwhelms but who can stand up to jealousy?H2534H395H639H7858H5975H6440H7068 5An open rebuke is better than unspoken love.H1540H8433H2896H5641H160 6Wounds from someone who loves are trustworthy, but kisses from an enemy speak volumes.H539H6482H157H5390H8130H6280 7The person who is full spurns honey, but to a hungry person even the bitter seems sweet.H7649H5315H947H5317H7457H5315H4751H4966 8Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who wanders away from his home.H6833H5074H7064H376H5074H4725 9Ointments and perfume encourage the heart; in a similar way, a friend's advice is sweet to the soul.H8081H7004H8055H3820H4986H7453H5315H6098 10Never abandon your friend nor your father's friend, and don't go to your brother's house in times of trouble. A neighbor who is near is better than a brother who lives far away.H7453H1H7453H5800H935H251H1004H3117H343H2896H7934H7138H251H7350 11Be wise, my son, and make me happy, so I can reply to anyone who insults me.H1121H2449H3820H8055H7725H1697H2778 12Those who are prudent see danger and take refuge, but the na?ve continue on and suffer the consequences.H6175H7200H7451H5641H6612H5674H6064 13Take the coat of anyone who puts up security for a stranger; hold it in pledge if he cosigns for an immoral woman.H3947H899H6148H2114H2254H5237 14A friend's loud blessing early in the morning will be thought of as a curse.H1288H7453H1419H6963H7925H1242H2803H7045 15A continual dripping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike.H2956H1812H5464H3117H4079H4066H802H7737 16Trying to keep her in check is like stopping a wind storm or grabbing oil with your right hand.H6845H6845H7307H8081H3225H7121 17Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens a friend's character.H1270H2300H1270H376H2300H6440H7453 18Whoever nurtures the fig tree will eat its fruit, and whoever obeys his master will be honored.H5341H8384H398H6529H8104H113H3513 19Just as water reflects the face, so the heart reflects the person.H4325H6440H6440H3820H120H120 20Sheol and Abaddon are never satiated, and neither are human eyes.H7585H11H10H3808H7646H5869H120H7646 21As the crucible tests silver, and the furnace assays gold; so praise received tests a man.H4715H3701H3564H2091H376H6310H4110 22Though you crush a fool in a mortar and pestle as someone might crush grain, his stupidity still won't leave him.H3806H191H4388H8432H7383H5940H200H5493 23Keep well informed of the condition of your flocks and pay attention to your herds,27H3045H3045H6440H6629H7896H3820H5739 24because riches don't endure forever, and crowns don't last from one generation to the next.H2633H5769H5145H1755H1755 25When the grass disappears, and new growth appears, the mountain spices will be harvested,H2682H1540H1877H7200H6212H2022H622 26the lambs will supply your clothing, and your goats the price of a field.H3532H3830H6260H4242H7704 27You will have enough goat's milk to drink and to supply your household needs, as well as sustenance for your servant girls.H5795H2461H1767H3899H3899H1004H2416H5291
