Dual Panel1Do not <0408> boast <01984> about tomorrow <04279>; for <03588> you do not <03808> know <03045> what <04100> a day <03117> may bring forth <03205>.
2Let another <02114> praise <01984> you, and not <03808> your own mouth <06310>; someone else <05237>, and not <0408> your own lips <08193>.
3A stone <068> is heavy <03514> and sand <02344> is weighty <05192>, but vexation <03708> by a fool <0191> is more burdensome <03515> than the two <08147> of them.
4Wrath <02534> is cruel <0395> and anger <0639> is overwhelming <07858>, but who <04310> can stand <05975> before <06440> jealousy <07068>?
5Better <02896> is open <01540> rebuke <08433> than hidden <05641> love <0160>.
6Faithful <0539> are the wounds <06482> of a friend <0157>, but the kisses <05390> of an enemy <08130> are excessive <06280>.
7The one whose appetite <05315> is satisfied <07649> loathes <0947> honey <05317>, but to the hungry <07457> mouth <05315> every <03605> bitter thing <04751> is sweet <04966>.
8Like a bird <06833> that wanders <05074> from <04480> its nest <07064>, so <03651> is a person <0376> who wanders <05074> from his home <04725>.
9Ointment <08081> and incense <07004> make <08055> the heart <03820> rejoice <08055>, likewise the sweetness <04986> of one’s friend <07453> from sincere <05315> counsel <06098>.
10Do not <0408> forsake <05800> your friend <07463> and your father’s <01> friend <07453>, and do not <0408> enter <0935> your brother’s <0251> house <01004> in the day <03117> of your disaster <0343>; a neighbor <07934> nearby <07138> is better <02896> than a brother <0251> far away <07350>.
11Be wise <02449>, my son <01121>, and make <08056> my heart <03820> glad <08056>, so that I may answer <01697> <07725> anyone who taunts <02778> me.
12A shrewd <06175> person sees <07200> danger <07451> and hides <05641> himself, but the naive <06612> keep right on going <05674> and suffer <06064> for it.
13Take <03947> a man’s garment <0899> when he has given security <06148> for a stranger <02114>, and when he gives surety for <01157> a stranger <05237>, hold him in pledge <02254>.
14If someone blesses <01288> his neighbor <07453> with a loud <01419> voice <06963> early <07925> in the morning <01242>, it will be counted <02803> as a curse <07045> to him.
15A continual <02956> dripping <01812> on a rainy <05464> day <03117> and a contentious <04066> wife <0802> are alike <07737>.
16Whoever hides <06845> her hides <06845> the wind <07307> or grasps <07121> oil <08081> with his right hand <03225>.
17As iron <01270> sharpens <02300> iron <01270>, so a person <0376> sharpens <02300> his friend <07453>.
18The one who tends <05341> a fig tree <08384> will eat <0398> its fruit <06529>, and whoever takes care <08104> of his master <0113> will be honored <03513>.
19As in water <04325> the face <06440> is reflected as a face <06440>, so <03651> a person’s <0120> heart <03820> reflects the person <0120>.
20As Death <07585> and Destruction <010> are never <03808> satisfied <07646>, so the eyes <05869> of a person <0120> are never <03808> satisfied <07646>.
21As the crucible <04715> is for silver <03701> and the furnace <03564> is for gold <02091>, so a person <0376> is proved by the praise <04110> he receives.
22If <0518> you should pound <03806> the fool <0191> in the mortar <04388> among <08432> the grain <07383> with the pestle <05940>, his foolishness <0200> would not <03808> depart <05493> from <05921> him.
23Pay careful attention <03045> <03045> to the condition <06440> of your flocks <06629>, give <07896> careful attention <03820> to your herds <05739>,
24for <03588> riches <02633> do not <03808> last forever <05769>, nor <0518> does a crown <05145> last from generation <01755> to generation <01755>.
25When the hay <02682> is removed <01540> and new grass <01877> appears <07200>, and the grass <06212> from the hills <02022> is gathered <0622> in,
26the lambs <03532> will be for your clothing <03830>, and the goats <06260> will be for the price <04242> of a field <07704>.
27And there will be enough <01767> goat’s <05795> milk <02461> for your food <03899>, for the food <03899> of your household <01004>, and for the sustenance <02416> of your servant girls <05291>.
