Verse 1א׳Standard1,882
אַֽל־תִּתְהַלֵּל בְּיוֹם מָחָר כִּי לֹא־תֵדַע מַה־יֵּלֶד יֽוֹם
Boast not thyself of to- morrow; For thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Verse 2ב׳Standard1,576
יְהַלֶּלְךָ זָר וְלֹא־פִיךָ נָכְרִי וְאַל־שְׂפָתֶֽיךָ
Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; A stranger, and not thine own lips.
Verse 3ג׳Standard897
כֹּֽבֶד־אֶבֶן וְנֵטֶל הַחוֹל וְכַעַס אֱוִיל כָּבֵד מִשְּׁנֵיהֶֽם
A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; But a fool’s vexation is heavier than they both.
Verse 4ד׳Standard1,679
אַכְזְרִיּוּת חֵמָה וְשֶׁטֶף אָף וּמִי יַעֲמֹד לִפְנֵי קִנְאָֽה
Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; But who is able to stand before jealousy?
Verse 5ה׳Standard2,087
טוֹבָה תּוֹכַחַת מְגֻלָּה מֵֽאַהֲבָה מְסֻתָּֽרֶת
Better is open rebuke Than love that is hidden.
Verse 6ו׳Standard2,810
נֶאֱמָנִים פִּצְעֵי אוֹהֵב וְנַעְתָּרוֹת נְשִׁיקוֹת שׂוֹנֵֽא
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; But the kisses of an enemy are importunate.
Verse 7ז׳Standard3,354
נֶפֶשׁ שְׂבֵעָה תָּבוּס נֹפֶת וְנֶפֶשׁ רְעֵבָה כָּל־מַר מָתֽוֹק
The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; But to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
Verse 8ח׳Standard1,782
כְּצִפּוֹר נוֹדֶדֶת מִן־קִנָּהּ כֵּֽן־אִישׁ נוֹדֵד מִמְּקוֹמֽוֹ
As a bird that wandereth from her nest, So is a man that wandereth from his place.
Verse 9ט׳Standard3,352
שֶׁמֶן וּקְטֹרֶת יְשַׂמַּֽח־לֵב וּמֶתֶק רֵעֵהוּ מֵֽעֲצַת־נָֽפֶשׁ
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart; So doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.
Verse 10י׳Standard3,162
רֵֽעֲךָ ורעה אָבִיךָ אַֽל־תַּעֲזֹב וּבֵית אָחִיךָ אַל־תָּבוֹא בְּיוֹם אֵידֶךָ טוֹב שָׁכֵן קָרוֹב מֵאָח רָחֽוֹק
Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; Neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity; Better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
