Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 1 is found in chapter 27 of Proverbs. One should not boast about tomorrow because life is not under human control. Praise should come from others rather than from one’s own mouth, and frank rebuke can be more valuable than superficial affection. True friendship can include wounds intended for good. The passage also values the presence of a nearby neighbor over a distant brother in a concrete situation of need.
