1Do not boast about tomorrow; for you do not know what a day may bring forth. 1אַֽל־ תִּ֭תְהַלֵּל בְּי֣וֹם מָחָ֑ר כִּ֤י לֹא־ תֵ֝דַ֗ע מַה־ יֵּ֥לֶד יֽוֹם׃
2Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not your own lips. 2יְהַלֶּלְךָ֣ זָ֣ר וְלֹא־ פִ֑יךָ נָ֝כְרִ֗י וְאַל־ שְׂפָתֶֽיךָ׃
3A stone is heavy and sand is weighty, but vexation by a fool is more burdensome than the two of them. 3כֹּֽבֶד־ אֶ֭בֶן וְנֵ֣טֶל הַח֑וֹל וְכַ֥עַס אֱ֝וִ֗יל כָּבֵ֥ד מִשְּׁנֵיהֶֽם׃
4Wrath is cruel and anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy? 4אַכְזְרִיּ֣וּת חֵ֭מָה וְשֶׁ֣טֶף אָ֑ף וּמִ֥י יַ֝עֲמֹד לִפְנֵ֥י קִנְאָֽה׃
5Better is open rebuke than hidden love. 5ט֭וֹבָה‪‬ תּוֹכַ֣חַת מְגֻלָּ֑ה מֵֽאַהֲבָ֥ה מְסֻתָּֽרֶת׃
6Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are excessive. 6נֶ֭אֱמָנִים פִּצְעֵ֣י אוֹהֵ֑ב וְ֝נַעְתָּר֗וֹת נְשִׁיק֥וֹת שׂוֹנֵֽא׃
7The one whose appetite is satisfied loathes honey, but to the hungry mouth every bitter thing is sweet. 7נֶ֣פֶשׁ שְׂ֭בֵעָה תָּב֣וּס נֹ֑פֶת וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ רְ֝עֵבָ֗ה כָּל־ מַ֥ר מָתֽוֹק׃
8Like a bird that wanders from its nest, so is a person who wanders from his home. 8כְּ֭צִפּוֹר נוֹדֶ֣דֶת מִן־ קִנָּ֑הּ כֵּֽן־ אִ֝֗ישׁ נוֹדֵ֥ד מִמְּקוֹמֽוֹ׃
9Ointment and incense make the heart rejoice, likewise the sweetness of one's friend from sincere counsel. 9שֶׁ֣מֶן וּ֭קְטֹרֶת יְשַׂמַּֽח־ לֵ֑ב וּמֶ֥תֶק רֵ֝עֵ֗הוּ מֵֽעֲצַת־ נָֽפֶשׁ׃
10Do not forsake your friend and your father's friend, and do not enter your brother's house in the day of your disaster; a neighbor nearby is better than a brother far away. 10רֵֽעֲךָ֨ [ורעה] (וְרֵ֪עַ) אָבִ֡יךָ אַֽל־ תַּעֲזֹ֗ב וּבֵ֥ית אָחִ֗יךָ אַל־ תָּ֭בוֹא בְּי֣וֹם אֵידֶ֑ךָ ט֥וֹב שָׁכֵ֥ן קָ֝ר֗וֹב מֵאָ֥ח רָחֽוֹק׃
11Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, so that I may answer anyone who taunts me. 11חֲכַ֣ם בְּ֭נִי וְשַׂמַּ֣ח לִבִּ֑י וְאָשִׁ֖יבָה חֹרְפִ֣י דָבָֽר׃
12A shrewd person sees danger and hides himself, but the naive keep right on going and suffer for it. 12עָר֤וּם רָאָ֣ה רָעָ֣ה נִסְתָּ֑ר פְּ֝תָאיִ֗ם עָבְר֥וּ נֶעֱנָֽשׁוּ׃
13Take a man's garment when he has given security for a stranger, and when he gives surety for a stranger, hold him in pledge. 13קַח־ בִּ֭גְדוֹ כִּי־ עָ֣רַב זָ֑ר וּבְעַ֖ד נָכְרִיָּ֣ה חַבְלֵֽהוּ׃
14If someone blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted as a curse to him. 14מְבָ֘רֵ֤ךְ רֵעֵ֨הוּ ׀ בְּק֣וֹל גָּ֭דוֹל בַּבֹּ֣קֶר הַשְׁכֵּ֑ים קְ֝לָלָ֗ה תֵּחָ֥שֶׁב לֽוֹ׃
15A continual dripping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike. 15דֶּ֣לֶף ט֭וֹרֵד בְּי֣וֹם סַגְרִ֑יר וְאֵ֥שֶׁת [מדונים] (מִ֝דְיָנִ֗ים) נִשְׁתָּוָֽה׃
16Whoever hides her hides the wind or grasps oil with his right hand. 16צֹפְנֶ֥יהָ צָֽפַן־ ר֑וּחַ וְשֶׁ֖מֶן יְמִינ֣וֹ יִקְרָֽא׃
17As iron sharpens iron, so a person sharpens his friend. 17בַּרְזֶ֣ל בְּבַרְזֶ֣ל יָ֑חַד וְ֝אִ֗ישׁ יַ֣חַד פְּנֵֽי־ רֵעֵֽהוּ׃
18The one who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and whoever takes care of his master will be honored. 18נֹצֵ֣ר תְּ֭אֵנָה יֹאכַ֣ל פִּרְיָ֑הּ וְשֹׁמֵ֖ר אֲדֹנָ֣יו יְכֻבָּֽד׃
19As in water the face is reflected as a face, so a person's heart reflects the person. 19כַּ֭מַּיִם הַפָּנִ֣ים לַפָּנִ֑ים כֵּ֤ן לֵֽב־ הָ֝אָדָ֗ם לָאָדָֽם׃
20As Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so the eyes of a person are never satisfied. 20שְׁא֣וֹל [ואבדה] (וַ֭אֲבַדּוֹ) לֹ֣א תִשְׂבַּ֑עְנָה וְעֵינֵ֥י הָ֝אָדָ֗ם לֹ֣א תִשְׂבַּֽעְנָה׃
21As the crucible is for silver and the furnace is for gold, so a person is proved by the praise he receives. 21מַצְרֵ֣ף לַ֭כֶּסֶף וְכ֣וּר לַזָּהָ֑ב וְ֝אִ֗ישׁ לְפִ֣י מַהֲלָלֽוֹ׃
22If you should pound the fool in the mortar among the grain with the pestle, his foolishness would not depart from him. 22אִ֥ם תִּכְתּֽוֹשׁ־ אֶת־ הָאֱוִ֨יל ׀ בַּֽמַּכְתֵּ֡שׁ בְּת֣וֹךְ הָ֭רִיפוֹת בַּֽעֱלִ֑י לֹא־ תָס֥וּר מֵ֝עָלָ֗יו אִוַּלְתּֽוֹ׃ פ
23Pay careful attention to the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds, 23יָדֹ֣עַ תֵּ֭דַע פְּנֵ֣י צֹאנֶ֑ךָ שִׁ֥ית לִ֝בְּךָ֗ לַעֲדָרִֽים׃
24for riches do not last forever, nor does a crown last from generation to generation. 24כִּ֤י לֹ֣א לְעוֹלָ֣ם חֹ֑סֶן וְאִם־ נֵ֝֗זֶר לְד֣וֹר [דור] (וָדֽוֹר׃)
25When the hay is removed and new grass appears, and the grass from the hills is gathered in, 25גָּלָ֣ה חָ֭צִיר וְנִרְאָה־ דֶ֑שֶׁא וְ֝נֶאֶסְפ֗וּ עִשְּׂב֥וֹת הָרִֽים׃
26the lambs will be for your clothing, and the goats will be for the price of a field. 26כְּבָשִׂ֥ים לִלְבוּשֶׁ֑ךָ וּמְחִ֥יר שָׂ֝דֶ֗ה עַתּוּדִֽים׃
27And there will be enough goat's milk for your food, for the food of your household, and for the sustenance of your servant girls. 27וְדֵ֤י ׀ חֲלֵ֬ב עִזִּ֗ים לְֽ֭לַחְמְךָ לְלֶ֣חֶם בֵּיתֶ֑ךָ וְ֝חַיִּ֗ים לְנַעֲרוֹתֶֽיךָ׃
