Proverbs 27:1-9 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Don’t brag about tomorrow,for you don’t know what a day will bring.

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

3. A stone is heavy and sand weighs much,but the nuisance of fools is heavier than both.

4. Wrath is cruel and anger is a flood,but who can withstand jealousy?

5. A public correction is better than hidden love.

6. Trustworthy are the bruises of a friend;excessive are the kisses of an enemy.

7. Someone who is full refuses honey,but anything bitter tastes sweet to a hungry person.

8. Like a bird wandering from its nest,so is one who wanders from home.

9. Oil and incense make the heart glad,and the sweetness of friends comes from their advice.
