## Proverbs 27:3-4 in Context (Verses 1–7 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/proverbs/27/1) Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.*
 
 [2 ](/kjv/proverbs/27/2) Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/proverbs/27/3) A stone *is* heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool’s wrath *is* heavier than them both.*
 
 [4 ](/kjv/proverbs/27/4) Wrath *is* cruel, and anger *is* outrageous; but who *is* able to stand before envy?**
 
 [5 ](/kjv/proverbs/27/5) Open rebuke *is* better than secret love.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/proverbs/27/6) Faithful *are* the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy *are* deceitful.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/proverbs/27/7) The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.*
 
[Proverbs 26](/kjv/proverbs/26) [Proverbs 28](/kjv/proverbs/28)
