Proverbs 27:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible
2 Let a (A)stranger praise you, and not your own mouth;
A foreigner, and not your own lips.
3 A stone is heavy and the sand weighty,
But the provocation of an ignorant fool is heavier than both of them.
4 Wrath is cruelty and anger is a flood,
But (B)who can stand before jealousy?
