Proverbs 27:2


Proverbs 27:1 Proverbs 27:2 (KJV) Proverbs 27:3
Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
A stone [is] heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath [is] heavier than them both.
