Proverbs 27:1-8 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

1. Boast not thyself of to-morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

2. Let another man praise thee, and not thy own mouth; a stranger, and not thy own lips.

3. A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than both.

4. Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

5. Open rebuke is better than secret love.

6. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

7. The full soul lotheth a honey-comb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

8. As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
