* Boast not yourself of to morrow ; for you know not what a day may bring forth . * Let another man praise you , and not your own mouth ; a stranger , and not your own lips . * A stone is heavy , and the sand weighty ; but a fool ' wrath is heavier than them both . * Wrath is cruel , and anger is outrageous ; but who is able to stand before envy ? * Open rebuke is better than secret love . * Faithful are the wounds of a friend ; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful . * The full soul loathes an honeycomb ; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet . * As a bird that wanders from her nest , so is a man that wanders from his place . * Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart : so does the sweetness of a man ' friend by hearty counsel . * Your own friend , and your father ' friend , forsake not ; neither go into your brother ' house in the day of your calamity : for better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off . * My son , be wise , and make my heart glad , that I may answer him that reproaches me . * A prudent man foresees the evil , and hides himself ; but the simple pass on , and are punished . * Take his garment that is surety for a stranger , and take a pledge of him for a strange woman . * He that blesses his friend with a loud voice , rising early in the morning , it shall be counted a curse to him . * A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike . * Whoever hides her hides the wind , and the ointment of his right hand , which denudes itself . * Iron sharpens iron ; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend . * Whoever keeps the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof : so he that waits on his master shall be honored . * As in water face answers to face , so the heart of man to man . * Hell and destruction are never full ; so the eyes of man are never satisfied . * As the fining pot for silver , and the furnace for gold ; so is a man to his praise . * Though you should bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle , yet will not his foolishness depart from him . * Be you diligent to know the state of your flocks , and look well to your herds . * For riches are not for ever : and does the crown endure to every generation ? * The hay appears , and the tender grass shows itself , and herbs of the mountains are gathered . * The lambs are for your clothing , and the goats are the price of the field . * And you shall have goats 'milk enough for your food , for the food of your household , and for the maintenance for your maidens .
