Proverbs 27:1-6 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what the day will bring.

2. May another praise you and not your own mouth, a stranger and not your own lips.

3. Heavy is a stone and weighty is sand, but the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them.

4. Cruel is wrath and overwhelming is anger, but who will stand before jealousy?

5. Better a rebuke that is open than a love that is hidden.

6. The wounds of a friend mean well, but the kisses of an enemy are profane.
