         is offered.

Pr 27:4
27:4 Wrath [is] cruel, and anger [is] outrageous; but who [is]

Pr 27:10
27:10 Thy own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not;
      neither go into thy brother's {d} house in the day of thy
      calamity: [for] better [is] a neighbour [that is] near
      than a brother far off.

          trouble.

          grace of God makes the difference.

Pr 27:21
27:21 [As] the refining pot for silver, and the furnace for
      gold; so [is] a man to his {i} praise.

      (i) That is, he is either known to be ambitious and
          glorious, or humble and modest.

27:26 The {k} lambs [are] for thy clothing, and the goats [are]
      the price of the field.

          preservation of his gifts.
