Proverbs 27:1-8 World English Bible (WEB)

1. Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.

2. Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

3. A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.

4. Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?

5. Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

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

7. A full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.

8. As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.
