Proverbs 27:1-10

1Boast not thyself of to-morrow; For thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.2Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; A stranger, and not thine own lips.3A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; But a fool’s vexation is heavier than they both.4Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; But who is able to stand before jealousy?5Better is open rebuke Than love that is hidden.6Faithful are the wounds of a friend; But the kisses of an enemy are profuse.7The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; But to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.8As a bird that wandereth from her nest, So is a man that wandereth from his place.9Oil and perfume rejoice the heart; So doth the sweetness of a man’s friend that cometh of hearty counsel.10Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; And go not to thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: Better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off.
