20_PRO_27_02 let another man praise thee , And not thine own mouth ; A stranger , And not thine own lips .
20_PRO_27_03 A stone [ Is ] heavy , And the sand weighty ; but A fool's wrath [ Is ] heavier than them Both .

20_PRO_27_05 open rebuke [ Is ] Better than secret love .
20_PRO_27_06 faithful [ are ] the wounds of A friend ; but the kisses of an enemy [ are ] deceitful .

20_PRO_27_13 take his garment that Is surety for A stranger , And take A pledge of him for A strange woman .
20_PRO_27_14 he that blesseth his friend with A loud voice , rising early in the morning , it shall be counted A curse to him .
20_PRO_27_15 A continual dropping in A very rainy day And A contentious woman are alike .
20_PRO_27_16 whosoever hideth her hideth the wind , And the ointment of his right hand , [ which ] bewrayeth [ itself ] .
