1 Boast not of tomorrow, for you know not what any day may bring forth.
2 Let another praise you--not your own mouth; Someone else--not your own lips.
3 Stone is heavy, and sand a burden, but a fool's provocation is heavier than both.
4 Anger is relentless, and wrath overwhelming-- but before jealousy who can stand?

9 Perfume and incense gladden the heart, but by grief the soul is torn asunder.
10 Your own friend and your father's friend forsake not; but if ruin befalls you, enter not a kinsman's house. Better is a neighbor near at hand than a brother far away.

18 He who tends a fig tree eats its fruit, and he who is attentive to his master will be enriched.
19 As one face differs from another, so does one human heart from another.
20 The nether world and the abyss are never satisfied; so too the eyes of men.
21 As the crucible tests silver and the furnace gold, so a man is tested by the praise he receives.
22 Though you should pound the fool to bits with the pestle, amid the grits in a mortar, his folly would not go out of him.
23 Take good care of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds;
24 For wealth lasts not forever, nor even a crown from age to age.
25 When the grass is taken away and the aftergrowth appears, and the mountain greens are gathered in,
26 The lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats will bring the price of a field,
27 And there will be ample goat's milk to supply you, to supply your household, and maintenance for your maidens.
