Proverbs 27:14

[trentlogain2]

Can someone explain this verse to me and what it means. Thank you

"Pro 27:14 A friend's loud blessing early in the morning will be thought of as a curse." -- ISV

It means pretty much what it says. Many of the Proverbs are "practical" wisdom. Most people would not consider it a "blessing" to be prematurely awakened out of a pleasant sleep by some well-intentioned goofball yelling, "Hallelujah! The Lord bless you, brother! Isn't it a glorious day? Glow-ruh be ta Gawd!"

Yeah, that's pretty much it. I've experienced that first hand by a well-intentioned Brother who felt it was his duty to wake me at 0500 on a weekend.

(Proverbs 27:14) He that is blessing his fellowman with a loud voice early in the morning, as a malediction it will be accounted on his part.

This scripture may explain it for you.

1 Thessalonians 2:5 In fact, at no time have we turned up either with flattering speech, (just as YOU know) or with a false front for covetousness, God is witness! 6 Neither have we been seeking glory from men, no, either from YOU or from others, though we could be an expensive burden as apostles of Christ. 7 To the contrary, we became gentle in the midst of YOU, as when a nursing mother cherishes her own children. 8 So, having a tender affection for YOU, we were well pleased to impart to YOU, not only the good news of God, but also our own souls, because YOU became beloved to us.
