Verse of the Day

Proverbs 27:12-21

The prudent see danger and take refuge,

but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;

hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.

If anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning,

it will be taken as a curse.

A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping

of a leaky roof in a rainstorm;

restraining her is like restraining the wind

or grasping oil with the hand.

As iron sharpens iron,

so one person sharpens another.

The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit,

and whoever protects their master will be honored.

As water reflects the face,

so one’s life reflects the heart.

Death and Destruction are never satisfied,

and neither are human eyes.

The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,

but people are tested by their praise.
