KING JAMES VERSION (KJV)
1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
10 Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
27 And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
1 Boast not thy selfe of to morrow: for thou knowest not what a day may bring foorth.
2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine owne mouth; a stranger, and not thine owne lips.
3 A stone is heauie, and the sand weightie: but a fooles wrath is heauier then them both.
4 Wrath is cruell, and anger is outragious: but who is able to stand before enuie?
5 Open rebuke is better then secret loue.
6 Faithfull are the woundes of a friend: but the kisses of an enemy are deceitfull.
7 The full soule loatheth an honie combe: but to the hungry soule euery bitter thing is sweete.
8 As a bird that wandreth from her nest: so is a man that wandreth from his place.
9 Oyntment and perfume reioyce the heart: so doeth the sweetnesse of a mans friend by heartie counsell.
10 Thine owne friend and thy fathers friend forsake not; neither goe in to thy brothers house in the day of thy calamitie: for better is a neighbour that is neere, then a brother farre off.
11 My sonne, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answere him that reprocheth me.
12 A prudent man foreseeth the euil, and hideth himselfe: but the simple passe on, and are punished.
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising earely in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15 A continuall dropping in a very rainie day, and a contentious woman, are alike.
16 Whosoeuer hideth her, hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand which be wrayeth it selfe.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron: so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18 Whoso keepeth the figtree, shall eate the fruit therof: so he that waiteth on his master, shall be honoured.
19 As in water face answereth to face: so the heart of man to man.
20 Hell and destruction are neuer full: so the eyes of man are neuer satisfied.
21 As the fining pot for siluer, and the furnace for gold: so is a man to his praise.
22 Though thou shouldest bray a foole in a morter among wheate with a pestell, yet will not his foolishnesse depart from him.
23 Be thou diligent to knowe the state of thy flocks, and looke well to thy herds.
24 For riches are not for euer: and doth the crowne endure to euery generation?
25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grasse sheweth it selfe, and herbes of the mountaines are gathered.
26 The lambes are for thy clothing, and the goates are the price of thy field.
27 And thou shalt haue goats milke enough for thy food, for the food of thy houshold, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
