1. Do not boast about tomorrow,For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
2. Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth;A stranger, and not your own lips.
3. A stone is heavy and sand is weighty,But a fool’s wrath is heavier than both of them.
4. Wrath is cruel and anger a torrent,But who is able to stand before jealousy?
5. Open rebuke is betterThan love carefully concealed.
6. Faithful are the wounds of a friend,But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7. A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb,But to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8. Like a bird that wanders from its nestIs a man who wanders from his place.
