Welcome to the Daily Audio Proverb. Today's the 27th, and our custom around here is to read the chapter of the day. So we'll read Proverbs chapter 27 from the good news translation today.

Never boast about tomorrow.

You don't know what will happen between now and then.

Let other people praise you.

Even strangers.

Never do it yourself.

The weight of stone and sand is nothing compared to the trouble that stupidity can cause.

Anger is cruel and destructive, but it is nothing compared to jealousy.

Better to correct someone openly than to let him think you don't care for him at all.

Friends mean well, even when they hurt you.

But when an enemy puts his arm around your shoulder. Watch out.

When you are full, you will refuse honey, but when you are hungry, even bitter food tastes sweet.

Anyone away from home is like a bird away from its nest.

Perfume in fragrant oils. from home is like a bird away from its nest.

Perfume and fragrant oils make you feel happier, but trouble shatters your peace of mind.

Do not forget your friends or your father's friends.

If you are in trouble, don't ask a relative for help.

A nearby neighbor can help you more than relatives who are far away.

Be wise, my child, and I will be happy. I will have an answer for anyone who criticizes me.

Sensible people will see trouble coming and avoid it, but an unthinking person will walk right

into it and regret it later. Any people stupid enough to promise to be responsible for a stranger's debts

deserve to have their own property held to guarantee payment.
