1 Boast not for to morrow, for thou knowest not what the day to come may 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 another praise thee, and not thy own mouth: a stranger, and not thy 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 A stone is heavy, and sand weighty: but the anger of a fool is heavier than them both. 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 Anger hath no mercy, nor fury when it breaketh forth: and who can bear the violence of one provoked? 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 Open rebuke is better than hidden love. Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
6 Better are the wounds of a friend, than the deceitful kisses of an enemy. 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.
