EXPOSITION PROVERBS 27:1 These verses are grouped in pairs, each two being connected in subject. PROVERBS 27:1 BOAST NOT THYSELF OF TOMORROW. He boasts himself (Proverbs 25:14) of tomorrow who counts upon it presumptuously, settles that he will do this or that, as if his life was in his own power, and he could make sure of time.
