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