Proverbs 27:1-6 ▼

1 Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.

2 Let a stranger praise you, and not your own mouth; A foreigner, and not your own lips.

3 A stone is heavy and the sand weighty, But the provocation of an ignorant fool is heavier than both of them.

4 Wrath is cruelty and anger is a flood, But who can stand before jealousy?

5 Better is reproof that is revealed Than love that is hidden.

6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.
