1Boast1984 not thyself of to morrow4279; for thou knowest3045 not what a day3117 may bring forth3205.
2Let another man2114 praise1984 thee, and not thine own mouth6310; a stranger5237, and not thine own lips8193.
3A stone68 is heavy3514, and the sand2344 weighty5192; but a fool's191 wrath3708 is heavier3515 than them both8147.
4Wrath2534 is cruel395, and anger639 is outrageous7858; but who is able to stand5975 before6440 envy7068?
5Open1540 rebuke8433 is better2896 than secret5641 love160.
6Faithful539 are the wounds6482 of a friend157; but the kisses5390 of an enemy8130 are deceitful6280.
7The full7649 soul5315 loatheth947 an honeycomb5317; but to the hungry7457 soul5315 every bitter thing4751 is sweet4966.
8As a bird6833 that wandereth5074 from her nest7064, so is a man376 that wandereth5074 from his place4725.
9Ointment8081 and perfume7004 rejoice8055 the heart3820: so doth the sweetness4986 of a man's friend7453 by hearty5315 counsel6098.
10Thine own friend7453, and thy father's1 friend7453, forsake5800 not; neither go935 into thy brother's251 house1004 in the day3117 of thy calamity343: for better2896 is a neighbour7934 that is near7138 than a brother251 far off7350.
11My son1121, be wise2449, and make my heart3820 glad8055, that I may answer7725 1697 him that reproacheth2778 me.
12A prudent6175 man foreseeth7200 the evil7451, and hideth5641 himself; but the simple6612 pass on5674, and are punished6064.
13Take3947 his garment899 that is surety6148 for a stranger2114, and take a pledge2254 of him for a strange woman5237.
14He that blesseth1288 his friend7453 with a loud1419 voice6963, rising early7925 in the morning1242, it shall be counted2803 a curse7045 to him.
15A continual2956 dropping1812 in a very rainy5464 day3117 and a contentious4079 4066 woman802 are alike7737.
16Whosoever hideth6845 her hideth6845 the wind7307, and the ointment8081 of his right hand3225, which bewrayeth7121 itself.
17Iron1270 sharpeneth2300 iron1270; so a man376 sharpeneth2300 the countenance6440 of his friend7453.
18Whoso keepeth5341 the fig tree8384 shall eat398 the fruit6529 thereof: so he that waiteth8104 on his master113 shall be honoured3513.
19As in water4325 face6440 answereth to face6440, so the heart3820 of man120 to man120.
20Hell7585 and destruction11 10 are never3808 full7646; so the eyes5869 of man120 are never satisfied7646.
21As the fining pot4715 for silver3701, and the furnace3564 for gold2091; so is a man376 to6310 his praise4110.
22Though thou shouldest bray3806 a fool191 in a mortar4388 among8432 wheat7383 with a pestle5940, yet will not his foolishness200 depart5493 from him.
23Be thou diligent3045 to know3045 the state6440 of thy flocks6629, and look7896 well3820 to thy herds5739.
24For riches2633 are not for ever5769: and doth the crown5145 endure to every1755 generation1755?
25The hay2682 appeareth1540, and the tender grass1877 sheweth7200 itself, and herbs6212 of the mountains2022 are gathered622.
26The lambs3532 are for thy clothing3830, and the goats6260 are the price4242 of the field7704.
27And thou shalt have goats'5795 milk2461 enough1767 for thy food3899, for the food3899 of thy household1004, and for the maintenance2416 for thy maidens5291.
