There’s a lion in the public square!” 14 A door turns on its hinges, and a lazy person turns on his bed. 15 A lazy person buries his hand in a dish, but he is too tired to return it to his mouth. 16 A lazy person considers himself wiser than seven people who answer sensibly. 17 A passerby who meddles in a quarrel that is not his is like a person who grabs a dog by the ears. 18 A person who deceives his neighbor and then says, “I was only joking,” 19 is like a madman who shoots firebrands and deadly arrows. [1] 20 When there is no more wood, a fire goes out, and without gossip, a quarrel dies down. 21 As charcoal is to hot embers and as wood is to fire, so a quarrelsome person is to igniting a fight. 22 Words of a gossip are like food that is easy to swallow. They go down to the depths of one’s heart. [2] 23 Fervent [3] lips and an evil heart are like a glaze [4] covering a clay pot. 24 With his lips a person hides his hatred, but he hides deceit inside. 25 When his voice sounds gracious, do not believe him, because seven abominations are in his heart. 26 His hatred covers itself with deceit, but his evil will be revealed in the assembly. 27 The person who digs a pit will fall into it. The person who rolls away a stone—it will roll back over him. 28 A lying tongue hates those it crushes, and a smooth mouth causes ruin. Proverbs 27 1 Do not boast about tomorrow, because you do not know what a day may produce. 2 Let someone else praise you, not your own mouth— a stranger, not your own lips. 3 A stone is heavy and sand is a burden, but aggravation from a stubborn fool is heavier than both. 4 Cruel wrath and a flood of anger are devastating, but who can stand up against jealousy? 5 Open correction is better than concealed love. 6 Wounds from someone who loves you can be trusted, but the kisses of someone who hates you are too much. [5] 7 A satisfied appetite refuses honey, but to a hungry appetite, everything bitter tastes sweet. 8 A person who wanders from his place     is like a bird that wanders from its nest. 9 Olive oil and incense bring joy to a heart, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his sincere advice. [6] 10 Do not abandon your friend or your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house when disaster strikes y
