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

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.
