Proverbs 27:24
Faithful Friendship, Honest Rebuke, Guarded Praise, Wise Stewardship, and the Testing of the Heart
The chapter moves from humility before tomorrow and restraint in praise, to anger, jealousy, rebuke, and friendship, to appetite and neighborly loyalty, to prudence, surety, and speech timing, to relational sharpening and service, to the heart's reflection and testing by praise, and finally to careful stewardship of flocks, fields, and household provision.
