“If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted to him as a curse.”
Proverbs 27:14 (BSB)
Context Reading
12The prudent see danger and take cover, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. 13Take the garment of him who posts security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for a foreigner. 14If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted to him as a curse. 15A constant dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike — 16restraining her is like holding back the wind or grasping oil with one’s right hand.
