27Do not boast about tomorrow,
for you do not know what a day may bring.
²Let another praise you, and not your own mouth—
a stranger, and not your own lips.
³A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty,
but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
⁴Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming,
but who is able to stand before jealousy?
⁵Better is open rebuke
than hidden love.
⁶Well meant are the wounds a friend inflicts,
but profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
