Nuggets of Wisdom

2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.

28 A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin.

27 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling.

26 Though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.

24 Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; 25 when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart.

23 Like the glaze covering an earthen vessel are fervent lips with an evil heart.

22 The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.
