Proverbs 27:14

Verse Proverbs 27:14. He that blesseth his friend] He who makes loud and public protestations of acknowledgments to his friend for favours received, subjects his sincerity to suspicion; and remember the Italian proverb elsewhere quoted:-"He who praises you more than he was wont to do, has either deceived you, or is about to do it." Extravagant public professions are little to be regarded.
