Warnings and Instructions
1Janganlah memuji diri karena esok hari, karena engkau tidak tahu apa yang akan terjadi hari itu. 2Biarlah orang lain memuji engkau dan bukan mulutmu, orang yang tidak kaukenal dan bukan bibirmu sendiri. 3Batu adalah berat dan pasirpun ada beratnya, tetapi lebih berat dari kedua-duanya adalah sakit hati terhadap orang bodoh. 4Panas hati kejam dan murka melanda, tetapi siapa dapat tahan terhadap cemburu ? 5Lebih baik teguran yang nyata-nyata dari pada kasih yang tersembunyi. 6Seorang kawan memukul dengan maksud baik, tetapi seorang lawan mencium secara berlimpah-limpah. 7Orang yang kenyang menginjak-injak madu, tetapi bagi orang yang lapar segala yang pahit dirasakan manis. 8Seperti burung yang lari dari sarangnya demikianlah orang yang lari dari kediamannya. 9Minyak dan wangi-wangian menyukakan hati, tetapi penderitaan merobek jiwa. 10Jangan kautinggalkan temanmu dan teman ayahmu. Jangan datang di rumah saudaramu pada waktu engkau malang. Lebih baik tetangga yang dekat dari pada saudara yang jauh. 11Anakku, hendaklah engkau bijak, sukakanlah hatiku, supaya aku dapat menjawab orang yang mencela aku. 12Kalau orang bijak melihat malapetaka, bersembunyilah ia, tetapi orang yang tak berpengalaman berjalan terus, lalu kena celaka. 13Ambillah pakaian orang yang menanggung orang lain, dan tahanlah dia sebagai sandera ganti orang asing. 14Siapa pagi-pagi sekali memberi selamat dengan suara nyaring, hal itu akan dianggap sebagai kutuk baginya. 15Seorang isteri yang suka bertengkar serupa dengan tiris yang tidak henti-hentinya menitik pada waktu hujan. 16Siapa menahannya menahan angin, dan tangan kanannya menggenggam minyak. 17Besi menajamkan besi, orang menajamkan sesamanya. 18Siapa memelihara pohon ara akan memakan buahnya, dan siapa menjaga tuannya akan dihormati. 19Seperti air mencerminkan wajah, demikianlah hati manusia mencerminkan manusia itu. 20Dunia orang mati dan kebinasaan tak akan puas, demikianlah mata manusia tak akan puas. 21Kui untuk melebur perak dan perapian untuk melebur emas, dan orang dinilai menurut pujian yang diberikan kepadanya. 22Sekalipun engkau menumbuk orang bodoh dalam lesung, dengan alu bersama-sama gandum, kebodohannya tidak akan lenyap dari padanya.
1Do not boast about tomorrow,
For you do not know what a day may bring. 2Let another praise you, and not your own mouth;
A stranger, and not your own lips. 3A stone is heavy and the sand weighty,
But the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them. 4Wrath is fierce and anger is a flood,
But who can stand before jealousy? 5Better is open rebuke
Than love that is concealed. 6Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy. 7A satisfied person despises honey,
But to a hungry person any bitter thing is sweet. 8Like a bird that wanders from its nest,
So is a person who wanders from his home. 9Oil and perfume make the heart glad,
And a person’s advice is sweet to his friend. 10Do not abandon your friend or your father’s friend,
And do not go to your brother’s house on the day of your disaster;
Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away. 11Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad,
So that I may reply to one who taunts me. 12A prudent person sees evil and hides himself;
But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty. 13Take his garment when he becomes a guarantor for a stranger;
And for a foreign woman seize a pledge from him. 14One who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning,
It will be considered a curse to him. 15A constant dripping on a day of steady rain
And a contentious woman are alike; 16He who would restrain her restrains the wind,
And grasps oil with his right hand. 17As iron sharpens iron,
So one person sharpens another. 18One who tends the fig tree will eat its fruit,
And one who cares for his master will be honored. 19As in water a face reflects the face,
So the heart of a person reflects the person. 20Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied,
Nor are the eyes of a person ever satisfied. 21The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold,
And each is tested by the praise accorded him. 22Though you pound the fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,
His foolishness still will not leave him.

23Kenallah baik-baik keadaan kambing dombamu, perhatikanlah kawanan hewanmu. 24Karena harta benda tidaklah abadi. Apakah mahkota tetap turun-temurun ? 25Kalau rumput menghilang dan tunas muda nampak, dan rumput gunung dikumpulkan, 26maka engkau mempunyai domba-domba muda untuk pakaianmu dan kambing-kambing jantan untuk pembeli ladang, 27pula cukup susu kambing untuk makananmu dan makanan keluargamu, dan untuk penghidupan pelayan-pelayanmu perempuan.
23Know well the condition of your flocks,
And pay attention to your herds; 24For riches are not forever,
Nor does a crown endure to all generations. 25When the grass disappears, the new growth is seen,
And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in, 26The lambs will be for your clothing,
And the goats will bring the price of a field, 27And there will be enough goats’ milk for your food,
For the food of your household,
And sustenance for your attendants.
