Berean Standard Bible

Proverbs 27:1-10

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.

3A stone is heavy and sand is a burden,but aggravation from a fool outweighs them both.

4Wrath is cruel and anger is like a flood,but who can withstand jealousy?

5Better an open rebukethan love that is concealed.

6The wounds of a friend are faithful,but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

7The soul that is full loathes honey,but to a hungry soul, any bitter thing is sweet.

8Like a bird that strays from its nestis a man who wanders from his home.

9Oil and incense bring joy to the heart,and the counsel of a friend is sweetness to the soul.

10Do not forsake your friend or your father’s friend,and do not go to your brother’s housein the day of your calamity;better a neighbor nearbythan a brother far away.
