Proverbs 27
1 Boast not thyself of to-morrow; For thou knowest not what a day may bring forth!
Jing nikhoa dingin kiletsah tothon thu seihih in, ajeh chu itobang nikho ahung lhun ding nahepoi.
2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; A stranger, and not thine own lips.

9 Oil and perfume gladden the heart; Sweet also is one's friend by hearty counsel.

10 Thine own friend and thy father's friend forsake not; And go not into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity. Better is a neighbor that is near, than a brother far off.
