1 Do not boast of tomorrow, For you do not know what a day brings 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.
4 Wrath is cruel and displeasure overwhelming, But who is able to stand before jealousy?
5 Open reproof is better than hidden love.
6 The wounds of a friend are true, But the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
7 One satisfied loathes the honeycomb, But to a hungry one any bitter food is sweet.
