Proverbs 27:3-8 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

3. Heavy is a stone and weighty is sand, but the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them.

4. Cruel is wrath and overwhelming is anger, but who will stand before jealousy?

5. Better a rebuke that is open than a love that is hidden.

6. The wounds of a friend mean well, but the kisses of an enemy are profane.

7. An appetite that is sated spurns honey, but to an appetite that is ravenous, all bitterness is sweet.

8. Like a bird that strays from its nest, so is a man who strays from his place.
