Proverbs 27:2 - Let another praise you, and not your own mouth

Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not your own lips.

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.

Proverbs 27:2

Commentary

Another form of pride is self-praise. It is far wiser to let another issue your praise.
