New Testament

Proverbs 27:4-8 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. Anger holds no mercy, nor does fury when it erupts. And who can bear the assault of one who has been provoked?

5. An open rebuke is better than hidden love.

6. The wounds of a loved one are better than the deceitful kisses of a hateful one.

7. A sated soul will trample the honeycomb. And a hungry soul will accept even bitter in place of sweet.

8. Just like a bird migrating from her nest, so also is a man who abandons his place.
