Proverbs 27:12-17 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

12. The prudent man seeing evil hideth himself: little ones passing on have suffered losses.

13. Take away his garment that hath been surety for a stranger: and take from him a pledge for strangers.

14. He that blesseth his neighbour with a loud voice, rising in the night, shall be like to him that curseth.

15. Roofs dropping through in a cold day, and a contentious woman are alike.

16. He that retaineth her, is as he that would hold the wind, and shall call in the oil of his right hand.

17. Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
