Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Proverbs 27:2-10

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips. A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both. Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? Open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. As a bird that wandereth from her... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Proverbs 27:1-10

Exaltation of Self Leads to Folly v. 1.

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips; for a person's praise of his own virtues and good deeds has no value and is, in addition, repulsive to others. v. 3. A... read more

In Solomon’s... read more
