来自{publisher｝1Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. (路12:19; 雅4:13)2Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips. (箴25:27; 林后10:12; 林后10:18; 林后12:11)3A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty, but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both. (箴12:16; 箴17:12)4Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy? (箴6:34)5Better is open rebuke than hidden love. (箴28:23)6Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy. (诗141:5)7One who is full loathes honey, but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet. (箴25:16)8Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who strays from his home. (箴26:2)9Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.[1] (诗23:5)10Do not forsake your friend and your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity. Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away. (王上12:6; 代下10:6; 箴17:17)11Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him who reproaches me. (诗119:42; 诗127:5; 箴6:6; 箴10:1; 箴23:15; 箴23:24; 箴29:3)12The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it. (箴1:4; 箴22:3)13Take a man’s garment when he has put up security for a stranger, and hold it in pledge when he puts up security for an adulteress.[2] (箴20:16)14Whoever blesses his neighbor with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, will be counted as cursing.15A continual dripping on a rainy day and a quarrelsome wife are alike; (箴19:13)16to restrain her is to restrain the wind or to grasp[3] oil in one’s right hand.17Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.[4]18Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who guards his master will be honored. (歌8:12; 太25:21; 林前3:8; 林前9:7; 提后2:6)19As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man.20Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, and never satisfied are the eyes of man. (伯26:6; 箴1:12; 箴15:11; 箴30:15; 传1:8; 传4:8; 哈2:5)21The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and a man is tested by his praise. (箴17:3)22Crush a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, yet his folly will not depart from him. (箴23:35; 赛1:5; 耶5:3)23Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds, (约10:3; 约10:14; 徒20:28; 彼前5:2; 彼前5:4)24for riches do not last forever; and does a crown endure to all generations? (箴23:5)25When the grass is gone and the new growth appears and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered, (诗37:2; 诗90:5)26the lambs will provide your clothing, and the goats the price of a field. (提前6:8)27There will be enough goats’ milk for your food, for the food of your household and maintenance for your girls. (箴27:26)
