| 1 | Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring. | Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. | Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. | |
| 2 | Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips. | Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips. | Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider, and not your own lips. | |
| 3 | Stone is heavy and the sand weighty, But a fool’s [unreasonable] wrath is heavier and more burdensome than both of them. | A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty, but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both. | Stone is heavy and sand a burden, but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both. | |
| 4 | Wrath is cruel and anger is an overwhelming flood, But who is able to endure and stand before [the sin of] jealousy? | Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy? | Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy? | |
| 5 | Better is an open reprimand [of loving correction] Than love that is hidden. | Better is open rebuke than hidden love. | Better is open rebuke than hidden love. | |
| 6 | Faithful are the wounds of a friend [who corrects out of love and concern], But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful [because they serve his hidden agenda]. | Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy. | Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses. | |
