27:1 Do not boast 1 about tomorrow; 2
for you do not know 3 what a day may bring forth.
27:2 Let another 4 praise you, and not your own mouth; 5
someone else, 6 and not your own lips.
27:3 A stone is heavy and sand is weighty,
but vexation 7 by a fool is more burdensome 8 than the two of them.
27:4 Wrath is cruel and anger is overwhelming, 9
but who can stand before jealousy? 10
27:5 Better is open 11 rebuke
than hidden 12 love.
27:6 Faithful 13 are the wounds of a friend,
but the kisses 14 of an enemy are excessive. 15
27:7 The one whose appetite 16 is satisfied loathes honey,
but to the hungry mouth 17 every bitter thing is sweet.
