1
|
Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. |
|
|
|
2
|
Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips. |
|
|
|
3
|
A stone heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath heavier than them both. |
|
|
|
4
|
Wrath cruel, and anger outrageous; but who able to stand before envy? |
|
|
|
5
|
Open rebuke better than secret love. |
|
|
|
6
|
Faithful the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy deceitful. |
|
|
|
7
|
The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. |
|
|
|
8
|
As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so a man that wandereth from his place. |
|
|
|
9
|
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. |
|
|
|
10
|
Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: better a neighbour near than a brother far off. |
|
|
|
11
|
My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me. |
|
|
|
12
|
A prudent foreseeth the evil, hideth himself; the simple pass on, are punished. |
|
|
|
13
|
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. |
|
|
|
14
|
He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. |
|
|
|
15
|
A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. |
|
|
|
16
|
Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, bewrayeth . |
|
|
|
17
|
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. |
|
|
|
18
|
Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured. |
|
|
|
19
|
As in water face to face, so the heart of man to man. |
|
|
|
20
|
Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. |
|
|
|
21
|
As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so a man to his praise. |
|
|
|
22
|
Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, will not his foolishness depart from him. |
|
|
|
23
|
Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, look well to thy herds. |
|
|
|
24
|
For riches not for ever: and doth the crown to every generation? |
|
|
|
25
|
The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. |
|
|
|
26
|
The lambs for thy clothing, and the goats the price of the field. |
|
|
|
27
|
And goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and the maintenance for thy maidens. |
