Proverbs 27

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 27 of 31

1 Do not boast in the day of tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.

2 Let a stranger praise you, and not your own mouth; a foreign one, and not your own lips.

3 A stone is heavy, and sand a burden, but the anger of a foolish one is heavier than both of them.
