271 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
271 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
271 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
271 Don't brashly announce what you're going to do tomorrow; you don't know the first thing about tomorrow.
271 Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
271 Don't brag about tomorrow, since you don't know what the day will bring.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 27:1
Commentary on Proverbs 27:1
(Read Proverbs 27:1)
We know not what a day may bring forth. This does not forbid preparing for to-morrow, but presuming upon to-morrow. We must not put off the great work of conversion, that one thing needful.
