Proverbs

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