Proverbs 27:2-6 New Century Version (NCV)

2. Don’t praise yourself. Let someone else do it.Let the praise come from a stranger and not from your own mouth.

3. Stone is heavy, and sand is weighty,but a complaining fool is worse than either.

4. Anger is cruel and destroys like a flood,but no one can put up with jealousy!

5. It is better to correct someone openlythan to have love and not show it.

6. The slap of a friend can be trusted to help you,but the kisses of an enemy are nothing but lies.
