Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 27:1

1 BOast not thy self of to morrow , for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth .

Of any good thing which thou purposest to do, or hopest to receive to morrow, or hereafter: the time being here put Metonymically for things done or had in the time, as Deut. 4. 32. Eccles. 2. 23. The same caution is given, Iam. 4. 13, &c.

What may happen in the space of one day, which may hinder thy designs or expectations. The day is said to bring forth what God by his Almighty Power and Providence doth either cause or suffer to be brought forth or done in it.
