2 Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider, and not your own lips.
2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
2 Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
2 Don't call attention to yourself; let others do that for you.
2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.
2 Let someone else praise you, not your own mouth- a stranger, not your own lips.
