Proverbs 27:2-4

New King James Version

²^(A)Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth;
A stranger, and not your own lips.

³A stone is heavy and sand is weighty,
But a fool’s wrath is heavier than both of them.

⁴Wrath is cruel and anger a torrent,
But ^(B)who is able to stand before jealousy?
