* Do not boast about tomorrow , for you do not know 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 sand is weighty ; but a fool ’s wrath is heavier than them both . * Wrath is cruel , and anger is overflowing ; but who is able to stand before jealousy ? * Open rebuke is better than love carefully concealed . * Faithful are the wounds of a friend ; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful . * The full soul tramples a honeycomb ; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet . * As a bird that wanders from its nest , so is a man who wanders from his place . * Ointment and perfume make the heart glad ; so does the sweetness of advice from the soul of one ’s friend . * Do not forsake your own friend or your father ’s friend , nor go to your brother ’s house in the day of your calamity ; better is a neighbor that is near than a brother afar off . * My son , be wise , and make my heart glad , so that I may have a word to answer him who reproaches me . * A prudent person foresees the evil and hides himself , but the simple pass on and are punished . * Take the garment of him who is surety for a stranger , and hold him in pledge for a foreign woman . * He who blesses his friend with a loud voice , rising early in the morning , it shall be counted a curse to him . * A continual dripping on a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike . * Whoever hides her hides the wind , and the ointment of his right hand calls out . * As iron sharpens iron , so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend . * Whoever keeps the fig tree shall eat its fruit ; so he who waits on his master shall be honored . * As in water face reflects face , so the heart of man reflects man . * Sheol and Abaddon are never full ; so the eyes of man are never satisfied . * As the refining pot for silver and the furnace for gold , so is the mouth for a man ’s praise . * Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with the grain , his foolishness will not depart from him . * Know and recognize the face of your flocks ; set your heart on your herds . * For riches are not forever ; nor the crown from generation to generation . * When the hay is removed , and the tender grass is visible , and mountain herbs are gathered , * the lambs are for your clothing , and the goats are the price of the field . * And you shall have enough goats ’ milk for your food , for the food of your household , and the sustenance of your maidens .
