Proverbs 27:1-7 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
1
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
2
Let another 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 provocation is heavier than both.
4
Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming, but who is able to stand before jealousy?
5
Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
6
Well meant are the wounds a friend inflicts, but profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
7
The sated appetite spurns honey, but to a ravenous appetite even the bitter is sweet.
