Proverbs 27:1-7

1 ne glorieris in crastinum ignorans quid superventura pariat dies

2 laudet te alienus et non os tuum extraneus et non labia tua

3 grave est saxum et onerosa harena sed ira stulti utroque gravior

4 ira non habet misericordiam nec erumpens furor et impetum concitati ferre quis poterit

5 melior est manifesta correptio quam amor absconditus

6 meliora sunt vulnera diligentis quam fraudulenta odientis oscula

7 anima saturata calcabit favum anima esuriens et amarum pro dulce sumet
