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.

3A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty, but a fool's provocation is heavier than both.

4Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?

5Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

6Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
