1Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.

1אַֽל־ תִּ֭תְהַלֵּל בְּי֣וֹם מָחָ֑ר כִּ֤י לֹא־ תֵ֝דַ֗ע מַה־ יֵּ֥לֶד יֽוֹם׃

2Let another praise you, and not your own mouth—a stranger, and not your own lips.

2יְהַלֶּלְךָ֣ זָ֣ר וְלֹא־ פִ֑יךָ נָ֝כְרִ֗י וְאַל־ שְׂפָתֶֽיךָ׃

3A stone is heavy and sand is a burden, but aggravation from a fool outweighs them both.

3כֹּֽבֶד־ אֶ֭בֶן וְנֵ֣טֶל הַח֑וֹל וְכַ֥עַס אֱ֝וִ֗יל כָּבֵ֥ד מִשְּׁנֵיהֶֽם׃

4Wrath is cruel and anger is like a flood, but who can withstand jealousy?

4אַכְזְרִיּ֣וּת חֵ֭מָה וְשֶׁ֣טֶף אָ֑ף וּמִ֥י יַ֝עֲמֹד לִפְנֵ֥י קִנְאָֽה׃

5Better an open rebuke than love that is concealed.

5ט֭וֹבָה‪‬ תּוֹכַ֣חַת מְגֻלָּ֑ה מֵֽאַהֲבָ֥ה מְסֻתָּֽרֶת׃

6The wounds of a friend are faithful, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

6נֶ֭אֱמָנִים פִּצְעֵ֣י אוֹהֵ֑ב וְ֝נַעְתָּר֗וֹת נְשִׁיק֥וֹת שׂוֹנֵֽא׃

7The soul that is full loathes honey, but to a hungry soul, any bitter thing is sweet.

7נֶ֣פֶשׁ שְׂ֭בֵעָה תָּב֣וּס נֹ֑פֶת וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ רְ֝עֵבָ֗ה כָּל־ מַ֥ר מָתֽוֹק׃

8Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who wanders from his home.

8כְּ֭צִפּוֹר נוֹדֶ֣דֶת מִן־ קִנָּ֑הּ כֵּֽן־ אִ֝֗ישׁ נוֹדֵ֥ד מִמְּקוֹמֽוֹ׃

9Oil and incense bring joy to the heart, and the sweetness of a friend is counsel to the soul.

9שֶׁ֣מֶן וּ֭קְטֹרֶת יְשַׂמַּֽח־ לֵ֑ב וּמֶ֥תֶק רֵ֝עֵ֗הוּ מֵֽעֲצַת־ נָֽפֶשׁ׃

10Do not forsake your friend or your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity; better a neighbor nearby 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 bring joy to my heart, so that I can answer him who taunts me.

11חֲכַ֣ם בְּ֭נִי וְשַׂמַּ֣ח לִבִּ֑י וְאָשִׁ֖יבָה חֹרְפִ֣י דָבָֽר׃

12The prudent see danger and take cover; but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

12עָר֤וּם רָאָ֣ה רָעָ֣ה נִסְתָּ֑ר פְּ֝תָאיִ֗ם עָבְר֥וּ נֶעֱנָֽשׁוּ׃

13Take the garment of him who posts security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for a foreigner.

13קַח־ בִּ֭גְדוֹ כִּי־ עָ֣רַב זָ֑ר וּבְעַ֖ד נָכְרִיָּ֣ה חַבְלֵֽהוּ׃

14If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted to him as a curse.

14מְבָ֘רֵ֤ךְ רֵעֵ֨הוּ ׀ בְּק֣וֹל גָּ֭דוֹל בַּבֹּ֣קֶר הַשְׁכֵּ֑ים קְ֝לָלָ֗ה תֵּחָ֥שֶׁב לֽוֹ׃

15A constant dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike—

15דֶּ֣לֶף ט֭וֹרֵד בְּי֣וֹם סַגְרִ֑יר וְאֵ֥שֶׁת [מדונים] (מִ֝דְיָנִ֗ים) נִשְׁתָּוָֽה׃

16restraining her is like holding back the wind or grasping oil with one’s right hand.

16צֹפְנֶ֥יהָ צָֽפַן־ ר֑וּחַ וְשֶׁ֖מֶן יְמִינ֣וֹ יִקְרָֽא׃

17As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

17בַּרְזֶ֣ל בְּבַרְזֶ֣ל יָ֑חַד וְ֝אִ֗ישׁ יַ֣חַד פְּנֵֽי־ רֵעֵֽהוּ׃

18Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored.

18נֹצֵ֣ר תְּ֭אֵנָה יֹאכַ֣ל פִּרְיָ֑הּ וְשֹׁמֵ֖ר אֲדֹנָ֣יו יְכֻבָּֽד׃

19As water reflects the face, so the heart reflects the true man.

19כַּ֭מַּיִם הַפָּנִ֣ים לַפָּנִ֑ים כֵּ֤ן לֵֽב־ הָ֝אָדָ֗ם לָאָדָֽם׃

20Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

20שְׁא֣וֹל [ואבדה] (וַ֭אֲבַדּוֹ) לֹ֣א תִשְׂבַּ֑עְנָה וְעֵינֵ֥י הָ֝אָדָ֗ם לֹ֣א תִשְׂבַּֽעְנָה׃

21A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold, but a man is tested by the praise accorded him.

21מַצְרֵ֣ף לַ֭כֶּסֶף וְכ֣וּר לַזָּהָ֑ב וְ֝אִ֗ישׁ לְפִ֣י מַהֲלָלֽוֹ׃

22Though you grind a fool like grain with mortar and a pestle, yet his folly will not depart from him.

22אִ֥ם תִּכְתּֽוֹשׁ־ אֶת־ הָאֱוִ֨יל ׀ בַּֽמַּכְתֵּ֡שׁ בְּת֣וֹךְ הָ֭רִיפוֹת בַּֽעֱלִ֑י לֹא־ תָס֥וּר מֵ֝עָלָ֗יו אִוַּלְתּֽוֹ׃ פ

23Be sure to know the state of your flocks, and pay close attention to your herds;

23יָדֹ֣עַ תֵּ֭דַע פְּנֵ֣י צֹאנֶ֑ךָ שִׁ֥ית לִ֝בְּךָ֗ לַעֲדָרִֽים׃

24for riches are not forever, nor does a crown endure to every generation.

24כִּ֤י לֹ֣א לְעוֹלָ֣ם חֹ֑סֶן וְאִם־ נֵ֝֗זֶר לְד֣וֹר [דור] (וָדֽוֹר׃)

25When hay is removed and new growth appears and the grain from the hills is gathered,

25גָּלָ֣ה חָ֭צִיר וְנִרְאָה־ דֶ֑שֶׁא וְ֝נֶאֶסְפ֗וּ עִשְּׂב֥וֹת הָרִֽים׃

26the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field.

26כְּבָשִׂ֥ים לִלְבוּשֶׁ֑ךָ וּמְחִ֥יר שָׂ֝דֶ֗ה עַתּוּדִֽים׃

27You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed you—food for your household and nourishment for your maidservants.

27וְדֵ֤י ׀ חֲלֵ֬ב עִזִּ֗ים לְֽ֭לַחְמְךָ לְלֶ֣חֶם בֵּיתֶ֑ךָ וְ֝חַיִּ֗ים לְנַעֲרוֹתֶֽיךָ׃
