Proverbs
Chapters 27:2-8
New International Version Anglicized
2Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth;an outsider, and not your own lips.
3Stone is heavy and sand a burden,but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
4Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming,but who can stand before jealousy?
5Better is open rebukethan hidden love.
6Wounds from a friend can be trusted,but an enemy multiplies kisses.
7One who is full loathes honey from the comb,but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.
8Like a bird that flees its nestis anyone who flees from home.
