Proverbs 27

1: Boast not of tomorrow for you know not what any day may bring forth.

2: Let another praise you~not your own mouth; someone else~not your own lips.

3: Stone is heavy, and sand a burden, but a fool's provocation is heavier than both.

4: Anger is relentless, and wrath overwhelming~but before jealousy who can stand!

5: Better is an open rebuke than a love that remains hidden.

6: Wounds from a friend may be accepted as well meant, but the greetings of an enemy one prays against.

7: One who is full, tramples on virgin honey but to the man who is hungry, any bitter thing is sweet.

8: Like a bird that is far from its nest is a man who is far from his home.
