Proverbs 27:1-7

Watch

Read

1 Do not boast about tomorrow,

For you do not know what a day may bring forth.

2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth;

A stranger, and not your own lips.

3 A stone is heavy and sand is weighty,

But a fool’s wrath is heavier than both of them.

4 Wrath is cruel and anger a torrent,

But who is able to stand before jealousy?

5 Open rebuke is better

Than love carefully concealed.

6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend,

But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

7 A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb,

But to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
