Proverbs 27:3 in Context — Proverbs 27

1 Não te orgulhes do dia de amanhã; porque não sabes o que o dia trará.

2 Que o estranho te louve, e não tua [própria] boca; o estrangeiro, e não teus [próprios] lábios.

3 A pedra é pesada, e a areia tem [seu] peso; mas a provocação do tolo é mais pesada do que estas ambas.

4 O furor é cruel, e a ira impetuosa; mas quem resistirá firme perante à inveja?

5 Melhor é a repreensão clara do que o amor escondido.
