# Chapter 27
|
|
1. Don't brag about tomorrow,
|
|
since you don't know what the day will bring.
|
|
|
|
2. Let someone else praise you, not your own mouth--
|
|
a stranger, not your own lips.
|
|
|
|
3. A stone is heavy and sand is weighty,
|
|
but the resentment caused by a fool is even heavier.
|
|
|
|
4. Anger is cruel, and wrath is like a flood,
|
|
but jealousy is even more dangerous.
|
|
|
|
5. An open rebuke
|
|
is better than hidden love!
|
|
|
|
6. Wounds from a sincere friend
|
|
are better than many kisses from an enemy.
|
|
|
|
7. A person who is full refuses honey,
|
|
but even bitter food tastes sweet to the hungry.
|
|
|
|
8. A person who strays from home
|
|
is like a bird that strays from its nest.
|
|
|
|
9. The heartfelt counsel of a friend
|
|
is as sweet as perfume and incense.
|
|
|
|
10. Never abandon a friend--
|
|
either yours or your father's.
|
|
When disaster strikes, you won't have to ask your brother for assistance.
|
|
It's better to go to a neighbor than to a brother who lives far away.
|
|
|
|
11. Be wise, my child, and make my heart glad.
|
|
Then I will be able to answer my critics.
|
|
|
|
12. A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions.
|
|
The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
|
|
|
|
13. Get security from someone who guarantees a stranger's debt.
|
|
Get a deposit if he does it for foreigners.
|
|
|
|
14. A loud and cheerful greeting early in the morning
|
|
will be taken as a curse!
|
|
|
|
15. A quarrelsome wife is as annoying
|
|
as constant dripping on a rainy day.
|
|
|
|
16. Stopping her complaints is like trying to stop the wind
|
|
or trying to hold something with greased hands.
|
|
|
|
17. As iron sharpens iron,
|
|
so a friend sharpens a friend.
|
|
|
|
18. As workers who tend a fig tree are allowed to eat the fruit,
|
|
so workers who protect their employer's interests will be rewarded.
|
|
|
|
19. As a face is reflected in water,
|
|
so the heart reflects the real person.
|
|
|
|
20. Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied,
|
|
so human desire is never satisfied.
|
|
|
|
21. Fire tests the purity of silver and gold,
|
|
but a person is tested by being praised.
|
|
|
|
22. You cannot separate fools from their foolishness,
|
|
even though you grind them like grain with mortar and pestle.
|
|
|
|
23. Know the state of your flocks,
|
|
and put your heart into caring for your herds,
|
|
|
|
24. for riches don't last forever,
|
|
and the crown might not be passed to the next generation.
|
|
|
|
25. After the hay is harvested and the new crop appears
|
|
and the mountain grasses are gathered in,
|
|
|
|
26. your sheep will provide wool for clothing,
|
|
and your goats will provide the price of a field.
|
|
|
|
27. And you will have enough goats' milk for yourself,
|
|
your family, and your servant girls.
