New Testament

Proverbs 27:1-7 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Don't brag about tomorrow. You don't know what a day will bring.

2. Let another person praise you, and not your own mouth. Let someone else praise you, and not your own lips.

3. Stones are heavy. Sand weighs a lot. But letting a foolish person make you angry is a heavier load than both of them.

4. Anger is mean. Great anger overpowers you. But who can face jealousy?

5. Being warned openly is better than being loved in secret.

6. Wounds from a friend can be trusted. But an enemy kisses you many times.

7. When you are full, you even hate honey. When you are hungry, even what is bitter tastes sweet.
