Proverbs 27:2-6

English Standard Version

² Let ^(A)another praise you, and not your own mouth;
    a stranger, and not your own lips.
³ A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty,
    but ^(B)a fool's provocation is heavier than both.
⁴ Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming,
    but who can stand before ^(C)jealousy?
^5 (D)Better is open rebuke
    than hidden love.
⁶ Faithful are ^(E)the wounds of a friend;
    profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
