1 Do not boast about tomorrow for, you do not know what a day will bring forth. 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 a stranger praise you, and not your own mouth—a foreigner, 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 The heaviness of a stone and the weight of the sand—and the anger of a fool is heavier 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 The cruelty of rage and the flood of a nostril—and who can stand before the face 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 uncovered rebuke than love hidden. Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of one who loves, and abundant are the kisses of one hating. 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.
