Proverbs 27:14

"He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, It shall be counted a curse to him."

Some uncertainty as to the exact meaning of this gives us alternative interpretations. (1) It is a rebuke of loud-mouth adulation, to which the public will ascribe evil intent on the part of the flatterer. (2) A loud-mouth blessing will call down the wrath of God, who shall consider it a curse. (Alternate interpretations by Toy).[15] Our own view of the passage is that any inconsiderate, loud-mouthed communication from a neighbor before daylight in the morning would be viewed by the recipient as rude and inappropriate, even if the words were flattering.
