Proverbs 27

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.	1 ܠܐ ܬܫܬܒܗܪ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܡܚܪ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܡܢܐ ܝܠܕ
2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.	2 ܢܫܒܚܟ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܦܘܡܟ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܣ̈ܦܘܬܟ
3 stone is heavy, and sand is weighty, but a fool's provocation is heavier than both.	3 ܝܩܝܪܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܢܛܠ ܚܠܐ ܘܪܘܓܙܗ ܕܣܟܠܐ ܝܩܝܪ ܡܢ ܬܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ
4 Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming; but who can stand before jealousy?	4 ܡܪܚܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܚܡܬܐ ܘܚܐܦܐ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܘܡܢܘ ܢܩܘܡ ܩܕܡ ܛܢܢܐ
5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love.	5 ܛܒܐ ܗܝ ܡܟܣܢܘܬܐ ܕܓܠܝܐ ܡܢ ܪܚܡܘܬܐ ܕܡܛܫܝܐ
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.	6 ܫܦܝܪ̈ܢ ܡܚ̈ܘܬܗ ܕܪܚܡܐ ܡܢ ܢܘܫ̈ܩܬܗ ܕܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ
7 He who is sated loathes honey, but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet.	7 ܢܦܫܐ ܕܣܒܥܐ ܕܝܫܐ ܟܟܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܘܢܦܫܐ ܟܦܢܬܐ ܐܦ ܡܪ̈ܝܪܬܐ ܚ̈ܠܝܢ ܐ̈ܢܝܢ ܠܗ̇
8 Like a bird that strays from its nest, is a man who strays from his home.	8 ܐܝܟ ܨܦܪܐ ܕܡܫܢܝܐ ܩܢܗ̇ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܙܐܥ ܡܢ ܕܘܟܬܗ
9 Oil and perfume make the heart glad, but the soul is torn by trouble.	9 ܐܝܟ ܡܫܚܐ ܘܒܣ̈ܡܐ ܕܡܚܕܝܢ ܠܒܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܡܒܣܡ ܠܚܒܪܗ ܒܡܠ̣ܟܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ
10 Your friend, and your father's friend, do not forsake; and do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity. Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away.	10 ܪܚܡܟ ܘܪܚܡܗ ܕܐܒܘܟ ܠܐ ܬܫܒܘܩ ܘܠܒܝܬ ܐܚܘܟ ܠܐ ܬܥܘܠ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܒܪܟ ܛܒ ܗܘ ܫܒܒܐ ܕܩܪܝܒ ܡܢ ܐܚܐ ܕܪܚܝܩ
11 Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him who reproaches me.	11 ܐܬܚܟܡ ܒܪܝ ܘܚܕܐ ܠܒܝ ܘܒܛܠ ܡܢܝ ܚܣܕܐ ܕܡܚ̈ܣܕܢܝ
12 A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple go on, and suffer for it.	12 ܥܪܝܡܐ ܚܙܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܐܬܛܫܝ ܫܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܒܪܘ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܘܚܣܪܘ
13 Take a man's garment when he has given surety for a stranger, and hold him in pledge when he gives surety for foreigners.	13 ܡܬܢܣܒ ܡܪܛܘܛܗ ܕܡ̇ܢ ܕܥܪܒ ܠܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܘܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܡܫܟܢܗ
14 He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, will be counted as cursing.	14 ܕܡܒܪܟ ܠܚܒܪܗ ܒܫܘܦܪܢܘܬܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܦܪܝܫ ܡܢ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܠܐܛ
15 A continual dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike;	15 ܐܝܟ ܕܠܦܐ ܕܢ̇ܛܦ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܣܓܪܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܢܨܝܬܐ
16 to restrain her is to restrain the wind or to grasp oil in his right hand.	16 ܪܘܚܐ ܓܪܒܝܐ ܩܫܝܐ ܘܒܫܡܐ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܡܬܩܪܝܐ
17 Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.	17 ܦܪܙܠܐ ܠܦܪܙܠܐ ܠܛܫ ܘܓܒܪܐ ܠܛܫ ܦܪܨܘܦܐ ܕܚܒܪܗ
18 He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who guards his master will be honored.	18 ܕܢܛܪ ܬܬܐ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܡܢ ܦܐܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܘܕܙܗܝܪ ܒܡܪܗ ܢܫܬܒܚ
19 As in water face answers to face, so the mind of man reflects the man.	19 ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐ ܕܡ̈ܝܢ ܦܪ̈ܨܘܦܐ ܠܦܪ̈ܨܘܦܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܠܐ ܕܡ̈ܝܢ ܠܒ̈ܘܬܐ ܠܠܒܘ̈ܬܐ
20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, and never satisfied are the eyes of man.	20 ܫܝܘܠ ܘܐܒܕܢܐ ܠܐ ܣܒܥܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܥܝܢܗܘܢ ܕܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܣܒܥܐ
21 The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and a man is judged by his praise.	21 ܨܪܦܐ ܒܩܐ ܠܣܐܡܐ ܘܟܘܪܐ ܠܕܗܒܐ ܘܓܒܪܐ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܐ ܕܡܫ̈ܒܚܢܘܗܝ ܠܒܐ ܕܥܘ̈ܠܐ ܒܥܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܠܒܐ ܕܟܐ̈ܢܐ ܒܥܐ ܝܕܥܬܐ
22 Crush a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, yet his folly will not depart from him.	22 ܐܢ ܡܚܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܣܟܠܐ ܒܓܘ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܡܘܬܪ ܐܢܬ ܠܗ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܡܥܒܪ ܐܢܬ ܣܟܠܘܬܗ
23 Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds;	23 ܡܐ ܕܪܥܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܥ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܥܢܟ ܘܣܝܡ ܠܒܟ ܥܠ ܓܙܪܟ
24 for riches do not last for ever; and does a crown endure to all generations?	24 ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܐܘܚܕܢܐ ܘܐܦܠܐ ܡܫܠܡ ܕܪܐ ܠܕܪܐ
25 When the grass is gone, and the new growth appears, and the herbage of the mountains is gathered,	25 ܫܘܚ ܥܡܝܪܐ ܘܐܬܚܙܝ ܬܕܐܐ ܘܐܬܟܢܫ ܥܣܒܐ ܕܛܘܪ̈ܐ
26 the lambs will provide your clothing, and the goats the price of a field;	26 ܐܡܪ̈ܐ ܠܠܒܘܫܟ ܘܓܕܝ̈ܐ ܠܡܐܟܘܠܬܟ
27 there will be enough goats' milk for your food, for the food of your household and maintenance for your maidens.	27 ܘܚܠܒܐ ܕܥ̈ܙܐ ܠܡܐܟܘܠܬܟ ܘܠܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܕܒܝܬܟ
