Proverbs 27:3-8 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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

4. Anger is cruel, and wrath overwhelming,but before jealousy who can stand?

5. Better is an open rebukethan a love that remains hidden.

6. Trustworthy are the blows of a friend,dangerous, the kisses of an enemy.

7. One who is full spurns honey;but to the hungry, any bitter thing is sweet.

8. Like a bird far from the nestso is anyone far from home.
