Proverbs 27:4 Context
2Let another man praise thee, and not thine owne mouth; a stranger, and not thine owne lips. 3A stone is heauie, and the sand weightie: but a fooles wrath is heauier then them both. 4Wrath is cruell, and anger is outragious: but who is able to stand before enuie? 5Open rebuke is better then secret loue. 6Faithfull are the woundes of a friend: but the kisses of an enemy are deceitfull.
