1. DO NOT boast of [yourself and] tomorrow, for you know not what a day may bring forth. [Luke 12:19, 20; James 4:13.]
2. Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
3. Stone is heavy and sand weighty, but a fool's [unreasoning] wrath is heavier and more intolerable than both of them.
4. Wrath is cruel and anger is an overwhelming flood, but who is able to stand before jealousy?
5. Open rebuke is better than love that is hidden. [Prov. 28:23; Gal. 2:14.]
6. Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are lavish and deceitful.
