New Testament

Proverbs 27:2-9 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

2. Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth;an outsider, and 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 fury overwhelming,but who can stand before jealousy?

5. Better is open rebukethan hidden love.

6. Wounds from a friend can be trusted,but an enemy multiplies kisses.

7. One who is full loathes honey from the comb,but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.

8. Like a bird that flees its nestis anyone who flees from home.

9. Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart,and the pleasantness of a friendsprings from their heartfelt advice.
