Boast{H1984} not thyself of to-morrow;{H4279} For thou knowest{H3045} not what a day{H4279} may bring forth.{H3205}

Let another man{H2114} praise{H1984} thee, and not thine own mouth;{H6310} A stranger,{H5237} and not thine own lips.{H8193}

A stone{H68} is heavy,{H3514} and the sand{H2344} weighty;{H5192} But a fool's{H191} vexation{H3708} is heavier{H3515} than they both.{H8147}

Wrath{H2534} is cruel,{H395} and anger{H639} is overwhelming;{H7858} But who is able to stand{H5975} before{H6440} jealousy?{H7068}

Better{H2896} is open{H1540} rebuke{H8433} Than love{H160} that is hidden.{H5641}

Faithful{H539} are the wounds{H6482} of a friend;{H157} But the kisses{H5390} of an enemy{H8130} are profuse.{H6280}

The full{H7649} soul{H5315} loatheth{H947} a honeycomb;{H5317} But to the hungry{H7457} soul{H5315} every bitter thing{H4751} is sweet.{H4966}

As a bird{H6833} that wandereth{H5074} from her nest,{H7064} So is a man{H376} that wandereth{H5074} from his place.{H4725}

Oil{H8081} and perfume{H7004} rejoice{H8055} the heart;{H3820} So doth the sweetness{H4986} of a man's friend{H7453} [that cometh] of hearty{H5315} counsel.{H6098}

Thine own friend,{H7453} and thy father's{H1} friend,{H7453} forsake{H5800} not; And go{H935} not to thy brother's{H251} house{H1004} in the day{H3117} of thy calamity:{H343} Better{H2896} is a neighbor{H7934} that is near{H7138} than a brother{H251} far off.{H7350}

My son,{H1121} be wise,{H2449} and make my heart{H3820} glad,{H8055} That I may answer{H7725} him that reproacheth{H2778} me.

A prudent{H6175} man seeth{H7200} the evil,{H7451} [and] hideth{H5641} himself; [But] the simple{H6612} pass on,{H5674} [and] suffer{H6064} for it.

Take{H3947} his garment{H899} that is surety{H6148} for a stranger;{H2114} And hold him in pledge{H2254} [that is surety] for a foreign woman.{H5237}

He that blesseth{H1288} his friend{H7453} with a loud{H1419} voice,{H6963} rising early{H7925} in the morning,{H1242} It shall be counted{H2803} a curse{H7045} to him.

A continual{H2956} dropping{H1812} in a very rainy{H5464} day{H3117} And a contentious{H4079} woman{H802} are alike:{H7737}

He that would restrain{H6845} her restraineth{H6845} the wind;{H7307} And his right hand{H3225} encountereth{H7121} oil.{H8081}

Iron{H1270} sharpeneth{H2300} iron;{H1270} So a man{H376} sharpeneth{H2300} the countenance{H6440} of his friend.{H7453}

Whoso keepeth{H5341} the fig-tree{H8384} shall eat{H398} the fruit{H6529} thereof; And he that regardeth{H8104} his master{H113} shall be honored.{H3513}

As in water{H4325} face{H6440} [answereth] to face,{H6440} So the heart{H3820} of man{H120} to man.{H120}

Sheol{H7585} and Abaddon{H11} are never{H3808} satisfied;{H7646} And the eyes{H5869} of man{H120} are never satisfied.{H7646}

The refining pot{H4715} is for silver,{H3701} and the furnace{H3564} for gold;{H2091} And a man{H376} is [tried]{H6310} by his praise.{H4110}

Though thou shouldest bray{H3806} a fool{H191} in a mortar{H4388} with{H8432} a pestle{H5940} along with bruised grain,{H7383} Yet will not his foolishness{H200} depart{H5493} from him.

Be thou diligent{H3045} to know{H3045} the state{H6440} of thy flocks,{H6629} [And] look{H7896} well{H3820} to thy herds:{H5739}

For riches{H2633} are not for ever:{H5769} And doth the crown{H5145} endure unto all{H1755} generations?{H1755}

The hay{H2682} is carried,{H1540} and the tender grass{H1877} showeth{H7200} itself, And the herbs{H6212} of the mountains{H2022} are gathered{H622} in.

The lambs{H3532} are for thy clothing,{H3830} And the goats{H6260} are the price{H4242} of the field;{H7704}

And [there will be] goats'{H5795} milk{H2461} enough{H1767} for thy food,{H3899} for the food{H3899} of thy household,{H1004} And maintenance{H2416} for thy maidens.{H5291}
