1 Boast not thyself of to-morrow, For thou knowest not what a day bringeth forth. 2 Let another praise thee, and not thine own mouth, A stranger, and not thine own lips. 3 A stone [is] heavy, and the sand [is] heavy, And the anger of a fool Is heavier than they both. 4 Fury [is] fierce, and anger [is] overflowing, And who standeth before jealousy? 5 Better [is] open reproof than hidden love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a lover, And abundant the kisses of an enemy. 7 A satiated soul treadeth down a honeycomb, And [to] a hungry soul every bitter thing [is] sweet. 8 As a bird wandering from her nest, So [is] a man wandering from his place. 9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart, And the sweetness of one’s friend—from counsel of the soul. 10 Thine own friend, and the friend of thy father, forsake not, And the house of thy brother enter not In a day of thy calamity, Better [is] a near neighbour than a brother afar off. 11 Be wise, my son, and rejoice my heart. And I return my reproacher a word. 12 The prudent hath seen the evil, he is hidden, The simple have passed on, they are punished. 13 Take his garment, when a stranger hath been surety, And for a strange woman pledge it. 14 Whoso is saluting his friend with a loud voice, In the morning rising early, A light thing it is reckoned to him. 15 A continual dropping in a day of rain, And a woman of contentions are alike, 16 Whoso is hiding her hath hidden the wind, And the ointment of his right hand calleth out. |
