- Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
- Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not your own lips.
- Stone is heavy and sand a burden, but provocation by a fool is heavier than both.
- Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?
- Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
|
- Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
- Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.
- A stone is heavy and the sand weighty, But the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them.
- Wrath is fierce and anger is a flood, But who can stand before jealousy?
- Better is open rebuke Than love that is concealed.

- Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.
- He who is full loathes honey, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.
- Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who strays from his home.
- Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel.
|
- Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.
- A sated man loathes honey, But to a famished man any bitter thing is sweet.
- Like a bird that wanders from her nest, So is a man who wanders from his home.
- Oil and perfume make the heart glad, So a man's counsel is sweet to his friend.
