Proverbs 27:12-16 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.
