In context
1 Boast not for to morrow, for thou knowest not what the day to come may bring forth.
2 Let another praise thee, and not thy own mouth: a stranger, and not thy own lips.
3 A stone is heavy, and sand weighty: but the anger of a fool is heavier than them both.
4 Anger hath no mercy: nor fury, when it breaketh forth: and who can bear the violence of one provoked?
5 Open rebuke is better than hidden love.
