Wesley's Notes for Proverbs 27:2

27:1 Boast not - Of any good thing which thou purposeth to do, or hopest to receive tomorrow, or hereafter. Knowest not - What may happen in the space of one day. The day is said to bring forth, what God by his almighty power either causes or suffers to be brought forth or done in it.

27:3 Heavier - More grievous, being without cause, without measure, and without end.
