1 Boast 1984 not thyself of to morrow 4279; for thou knowest 3045 not what a day 3117 may bring forth 3205.
2 Let another 2114 man praise 1984 thee, and not thine own mouth 6310; a stranger 5237, and not thine own lips 8193.
3 A stone 68 is heavy 3514, and the sand 2344 weighty 5192; but a fool's 191 wrath 3708 is heavier 3515 than them both 8147.
4 Wrath 2534 is cruel 395, and anger 639 is outrageous 7858; but who is able to stand 5975 before 6440 envy 7068?
5 Open 1540 rebuke 8433 is better 2896 than secret 5641 love 160.
6 Faithful 539 are the wounds 6482 of a friend 157; but the kisses 5390 of an enemy 8130 are deceitful 6280.
7 The full 7649 soul 5315 loatheth 947 an honeycomb 5317; but to the hungry 7457 soul 5315 every bitter thing 4751 is sweet 4966.
8 As a bird 6833 that wandereth 5074 from her nest 7064, so is a man 376 that wandereth 5074 from his place 4725.
9 Ointment 8081 and perfume 7004 rejoice 8055 the heart 3820: so doth the sweetness 4986 of a man's friend 7453 by hearty 5315 counsel 6098.
10 Thine own friend 7453, and thy father's 1 friend 7453, forsake 5800 not; neither go 935 into thy brother's 251 house 1004 in the day 3117 of thy calamity 343: for better 2896 is a neighbour 7934 that is near 7138 than a brother 251 far off 7350.
11 My son 1121, be wise 2449, and make my heart 3820 glad 8055, that I may answer 7725 1697 him that reproacheth 2778 me.
12 A prudent 6175 man foreseeth 7200 the evil 7451, and hideth 5641 himself; but the simple 6612 pass on 5674, and are punished 6064.
13 Take 3947 his garment 899 that is surety 6148 for a stranger 2114, and take a pledge 2254 of him for a strange woman 5237.
14 He that blesseth 1288 his friend 7453 with a loud 1419 voice 6963, rising early 7925 in the morning 1242, it shall be counted 2803 a curse 7045 to him.
15 A continual 2956 dropping 1812 in a very rainy 5464 day 3117 and a contentious 4079 4066 woman 802 are alike 7737.
16 Whosoever hideth 6845 her hideth 6845 the wind 7307, and the ointment 8081 of his right hand 3225, which bewrayeth 7121 itself.
17 Iron 1270 sharpeneth 2300 iron 1270; so a man 376 sharpeneth 2300 the countenance 6440 of his friend 7453.
18 Whoso keepeth 5341 the fig tree 8384 shall eat 398 the fruit 6529 thereof: so he that waiteth 8104 on his master 113 shall be honoured 3513.
19 As in water 4325 face 6440 answereth to face 6440, so the heart 3820 of man 120 to man 120.
20 Hell 7585 and destruction 11 10 are never 3808 full 7646; so the eyes 5869 of man 120 are never satisfied 7646.
21 As the fining pot 4715 for silver 3701, and the furnace 3564 for gold 2091; so is a man 376 to his 6310 praise 4110.
22 Though thou shouldest bray 3806 a fool 191 in a mortar 4388 among 8432 wheat 7383 with a pestle 5940, yet will not his foolishness 200 depart 5493 from him.
23 Be thou diligent 3045 to know 3045 the state 6440 of thy flocks 6629, and look 7896 well 3820 to thy herds 5739.
24 For riches 2633 are not for ever 5769: and doth the crown 5145 endure to every 1755 generation 1755?
25 The hay 2682 appeareth 1540, and the tender grass 1877 sheweth 7200 itself, and herbs 6212 of the mountains 2022 are gathered 622.
26 The lambs 3532 are for thy clothing 3830, and the goats 6260 are the price 4242 of the field 7704.
27 And thou shalt have goats 5795' milk 2461 enough 1767 for thy food 3899, for the food 3899 of thy household 1004, and for the maintenance 2416 for thy maidens 5291.
