Proverbs 27:1-6

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

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

3Stone is heavy and the sand weighty, But a fool’s [unreasonable] wrath is heavier and more burdensome than both of them.

4Wrath is cruel and anger is an overwhelming flood, But who is able to endure and stand before [the sin of] jealousy?

5Better is an open reprimand [of loving correction] Than love that is hidden.

6Faithful are the wounds of a friend [who corrects out of love and concern], But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful [because they serve his hidden agenda].
