1Boast not thyself of to-morrow; For thou knowest not what a day may bring forth!
2Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; A stranger, and not thine own lips.
3A stone is heavy and sand is weighty; But a fool's wrath is heavier than both.
4Wrath is cruel, and anger overwhelming; But who is able to stand before jealousy?
5Better is open rebuke Than love kept concealed.
6Faithful are the wounds of a friend; But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7He who is fed to the full loatheth the honeycomb; But to the hungry any bitter thing is sweet.
8As a bird that wandereth from its nest, So is a man who wandereth from his place.
9Oil and perfume gladden the heart; Sweet also is one's friend by hearty counsel.
