Proverbs 27:2-9 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

2. Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

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

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

5. Open rebuke is better than hidden love.

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

7. The full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

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

9. Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so does the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
