Warnings and Instructions

27Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.H1984H4279H3045H3117H3205 2Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.H2114H1984H6310H5237H8193 3A stone is heavy and the sand weighty, But the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them.H68H3514H2344H5192H191H3708H3515H8147 4Wrath is fierce and anger is a flood, But who can stand before jealousy?H2534H395H639H7858H5975H6440H7068 5Better is open rebuke Than love that is concealed.H1540H8433H2896H5641H160 6Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.H539H6482H157H5390H8130H6280 7A sated man loathes honey, But to a famished man any bitter thing is sweet.H7649H5315H947H5317H7457H5315H4751H4966 8Like a bird that wanders from her nest, So is a man who wanders from his home.H6833H5074H7064H376H5074H4725 9Oil and perfume make the heart glad, So a man's counsel is sweet to his friend.H8081H7004H8055H3820H4986H7453H5315H6098 10Do not forsake your own friend or your father's friend, And do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity; Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away.H7453H1H7453H5800H935H251H1004H3117H343H2896H7934H7138H251H7350 11Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, That I may reply to him who reproaches me.H1121H2449H3820H8055H7725H1697H2778 12A prudent man sees evil [and] hides himself, The naive proceed [and] pay the penalty.H6175H7200H7451H5641H6612H5674H6064 13Take his garment when he becomes surety for a stranger; And for an adulterous woman hold him in pledge.H3947H899H6148H2114H2254H5237 14He who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning, It will be reckoned a curse to him.H1288H7453H1419H6963H7925H1242H2803H7045 15A constant dripping on a day of steady rain And a contentious woman are alike;H2956H1812H5464H3117H4079H4066H802H7737 16He who would restrain her restrains the wind, And grasps oil with his right hand.H6845H6845H7307H8081H3225H7121 17Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another.H1270H2300H1270H376H2300H6440H7453 18He who tends the fig tree will eat its fruit; And he who cares for his master will be honored.H5341H8384H398H6529H8104H113H3513 19As in water face [reflects] face, So the heart of man [reflects] man.H4325H6440H6440H3820H120H120 20Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, Nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied.H7585H11H10H3808H7646H5869H120H7646 21The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold, And a man [is tested] by the praise accorded him.H4715H3701H3564H2091H376H6310H4110 22Though you pound a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, [Yet] his folly will not depart from him.H3806H191H4388H8432H7383H5940H200H5493 23Know well the condition of your flocks, [And] pay attention to your herds;H3045H3045H6440H6629H7896H3820H5739 24For riches are not forever, Nor does a crown [endure] to all generations.H2633H5769H5145H1755H1755 25[When] the grass disappears, the new growth is seen, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,H2682H1540H1877H7200H6212H2022H622 26The lambs [will be] for your clothing, And the goats [will bring] the price of a field,H3532H3830H6260H4242H7704 27And [there will be] goats' milk enough for your food, For the food of your household, And sustenance for your maidens.H5795H2461H1767H3899H3899H1004H2416H5291
