Warnings and Instructions
1 Do not boast H1984 about tomorrow H3117 H4279,
For you do not know H3045 what H4100 a day H3117 may bring H3205.
2 Let another H2114 praise H1984 you, and not your own mouth H6310;
A stranger H5237, and not your own lips H8193.
3 A stone H68 is heavy H3514 and the sand H2344 weighty H5192,
But the provocation H3708 of a fool H191 is heavier H3515 than H4480 both H8147 of them.
4 Wrath H2534 is fierce H395 and anger H639 is a flood H7858,
But who H4310 can stand H5975 before H6440 jealousy H7068?
5 Better H2896 is open H1540 rebuke H8433
Than H4480 love H160 that is concealed H5641.
6 Faithful H539 are the wounds H6482 of a friend H157,
But [fn]deceitful H6280 are the kisses H5390 of an enemy H8130.
7 A satisfied H7649 [fn]person H5315 [fn]despises H947 honey H5317,
But to a hungry H7457 [fn]person H5315 any H3605 bitter H4751 thing H4751 is sweet H4966.
8 Like a bird H6833 that wanders H5074 from its nest H7064,
So H3651 is a person H376 who wanders H5074 from his [fn]home H4725.
9 Oil H8081 and perfume H7004 make H8055 the heart H3820 glad H8055,
And a [fn]person’s H5315 advice H6098 is sweet H4986 to his friend H7453.
10 Do not abandon H5800 your friend H7453 or your father’s H1 friend H7453,
And do not go H935 to your brother’s H251 house H1004 on the day H3117 of your disaster H343;
Better H2896 is a neighbor H7934 who is near H7138 than H4480 a brother H251 far H7350 away.
11 Be H2449 wise H2449, my son H1121, and make H8055 my heart H3820 glad H8055,
So that I may reply H7725 H1697 to one who taunts H2778 me.
12 A prudent H6175 person H6175 sees H7200 evil H7451 and hides H5641 himself;
But the naive H6612 proceed H5674, and pay H6064 the H6064 penalty H6064.
13 Take H3947 his garment H899 when H3588 he becomes H6148 a H6148 guarantor H6148 for a stranger H2114;
And for a foreign H5237 woman H5237 seize H2254 a H2254 pledge H2254 from him.
14 One who blesses H1288 his friend H7453 with a loud H1419 voice H6963 early H7925 in the morning H1242,
It will be considered H2803 a curse H7045 to him.
15 A constant H2956 dripping H1812 on a day H3117 of steady H5464 rain H5464
And a contentious H4066 woman H802 are H7737 alike H7737;
16 He who would [fn]restrain H6845 her [fn]restrains H6845 the wind H7307,
And [fn]grasps H7122 oil H8081 with his right H3225 hand H3225.
17 As iron H1270 sharpens H2300 iron H1270,
So one person H376 sharpens H2300 another H6440 H7453.
18 One who tends H5341 the fig H8384 tree H8384 will eat H398 its fruit H6529,
And one who cares H8104 for his master H113 will be honored H3513.
19 As in water H4325 a face H6440 reflects the face H6440,
So H3651 the heart H3820 of a person H120 reflects the person H120.
20 [fn]Sheol H7585 and [fn]Abaddon H11 are H7646 never H3808 satisfied H7646,
Nor H3808 are the eyes H5869 of a person H120 ever satisfied H7646.
21 The crucible H4715 is for silver H3701 and the furnace H3564 for gold H2091,
And each H376 is tested by the praise H4110 accorded H6310 him.
22 Though H518 you pound H3806 the fool H191 in a mortar H4388 with a pestle H5940 along H8432 with crushed H7383 grain H7383,
His foolishness H200 still will not leave H5493 H4480 him.
23 Know H3045 well H3045 the [fn]condition H6440 of your flocks H6629,
And pay H7896 attention H3820 to your herds H5739;
24 For riches H2633 are not forever H5769,
Nor H518 does a crown H5145 endure to all H1755 generations H1755.
25 When the grass H2682 disappears H1540, the new H1877 growth H1877 is seen H7200,
And the herbs H6212 of the mountains H2022 are gathered H622 in H622,
26 The lambs H3532 will be for your clothing H3830,
And the goats H6260 will bring the price H4242 of a field H7704,
27 And there will be enough H1767 goats’ H5795 milk H2461 for your food H3899,
