Proverbs 27:1-8 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Do not boast about tomorrow,for you do not know what any day may bring forth.

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

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.
