| 1 | Do not boast about tomorrow, || For you do not know what a day brings 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 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 | A stone [is] heavy, and the sand [is] heavy, || And 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 | Fury [is] fierce, and anger [is] overflowing, || And who stands before 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] open reproof than hidden love. | Better is open rebuke than hidden love. | Better is open rebuke than hidden love. | |
| 6 | The wounds of a lover are faithful, || And the kisses of an enemy [are] abundant. | 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. | |
