1Don’t boast about tomorrow;
2Let another man praise you,
3A stone is heavy,
4Wrath is cruel,
5Better is open rebuke
6The wounds of a friend are faithful,
7A full soul loathes a honeycomb;
8As a bird that wanders from her nest,
9Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart;
10Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend.
11Be wise, my son,
12A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge;
13Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger.
14He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning,
15A continual dropping on a rainy day
16restraining her is like restraining the wind,
17Iron sharpens iron;
18Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit.
19Like water reflects a face,
20and Abaddon are never satisfied;
21The crucible is for silver,
22Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain,
23Know well the state of your flocks,
24for riches are not forever,
25The hay is removed, and the new growth appears,
26The lambs are for your clothing,
27There will be plenty of goats’ milk for your food,
