1 # Boast <01984> (8691) not thyself of to morrow <04279>; for thou knowest <03045> (8799) not what a day <03117> may bring forth <03205> (8799).
2 # Let another man <02114> (8801) praise <01984> (8762) thee, and not thine own mouth <06310>; a stranger <05237>, and not thine own lips <08193>.
3 # A stone <068> is heavy <03514>, and the sand <02344> weighty <05192>; but a fool's <0191> wrath <03708> is heavier <03515> than them both <08147>.
4 Wrath <02534> is cruel <0395>, and anger <0639> is outrageous <07858>; but who is able to stand <05975> (8799) before <06440> envy <07068>?
5 # Open <01540> (8794) rebuke <08433> is better <02896> than secret <05641> (8794) love <0160>.
6 Faithful <0539> (8737) are the wounds <06482> of a friend <0157> (8802); but the kisses <05390> of an enemy <08130> (8802) are deceitful <06280> (8737).
7 # The full <07649> soul <05315> loatheth <0947> (8799) an honeycomb <05317>; but to the hungry <07457> soul <05315> every bitter thing <04751> is sweet <04966>.
8 # As a bird <06833> that wandereth <05074> (8802) from her nest <07064>, so is a man <0376> that wandereth <05074> (8802) from his place <04725>.
9 # Ointment <08081> and perfume <07004> rejoice <08055> (8762) the heart <03820>: so doth the sweetness <04986> of a man's friend <07453> by hearty <05315> counsel <06098>.
10 Thine own friend <07453>, and thy father's <01> friend <07453>, forsake <05800> (8799) not; neither go <0935> (8799) into thy brother's <0251> house <01004> in the day <03117> of thy calamity <0343>: for better <02896> is a neighbour <07934> that is near <07138> than a brother <0251> far off <07350>.
11 # My son <01121>, be wise <02449> (8798), and make my heart <03820> glad <08055> (8761), that I may answer <07725> (8686) <01697> him that reproacheth <02778> (8802) me.
12 # A prudent <06175> man foreseeth <07200> (8804) the evil <07451>, and hideth <05641> (8738) himself; but the simple <06612> pass on <05674> (8804), and are punished <06064> (8738).
13 # Take <03947> (8798) his garment <0899> that is surety <06148> (8804) for a stranger <02114> (8801), and take a pledge <02254> (8798) of him for a strange woman <05237>.
14 # He that blesseth <01288> (8764) his friend <07453> with a loud <01419> voice <06963>, rising early <07925> (8687) in the morning <01242>, it shall be counted <02803> (8735) a curse <07045> to him.
15 # A continual <02956> (8802) dropping <01812> in a very rainy <05464> day <03117> and a contentious <04079> (8675) <04066> woman <0802> are alike <07737> (8739).
16 Whosoever hideth <06845> (8802) her hideth <06845> (8804) the wind <07307>, and the ointment <08081> of his right hand <03225>, which bewrayeth <07121> (8799) itself.
17 # Iron <01270> sharpeneth <02300> (8799) iron <01270>; so a man <0376> sharpeneth <02300> (8686) the countenance <06440> of his friend <07453>.
18 # Whoso keepeth <05341> (8802) the fig tree <08384> shall eat <0398> (8799) the fruit <06529> thereof: so he that waiteth <08104> (8802) on his master <0113> shall be honoured <03513> (8792).
19 # As in water <04325> face <06440> answereth to face <06440>, so the heart <03820> of man <0120> to man <0120>.
20 # Hell <07585> and destruction <011> (8675) <010> are never <03808> full <07646> (8799) ; so the eyes <05869> of man <0120> are never satisfied <07646> (8799).
21 # As the fining pot <04715> for silver <03701>, and the furnace <03564> for gold <02091>; so is a man <0376> to <06310> his praise <04110>.
22 # Though thou shouldest bray <03806> (8799) a fool <0191> in a mortar <04388> among <08432> wheat <07383> with a pestle <05940>, yet will not his foolishness <0200> depart <05493> (8799) from him.
23 # Be thou diligent <03045> (8799) to know <03045> (8800) the state <06440> of thy flocks <06629>, and look <07896> (8798) well <03820> to thy herds <05739>.
24 For riches <02633> are not for ever <05769>: and doth the crown <05145> endure to every <01755> generation <01755>?
25 The hay <02682> appeareth <01540> (8804), and the tender grass <01877> sheweth <07200> (8738) itself, and herbs <06212> of the mountains <02022> are gathered <0622> (8738).
26 The lambs <03532> are for thy clothing <03830>, and the goats <06260> are the price <04242> of the field <07704>.
27 And thou shalt have goats <05795>' milk <02461> enough <01767> for thy food <03899>, for the food <03899> of thy household <01004>, and for the maintenance <02416> for thy maidens <05291>.
