You Don’t Know Tomorrow

1Don’t brashly announce what you’re going to do tomorrow;

you don’t know the first thing about tomorrow.

2Don’t call attention to yourself;

let others do that for you.

3Carrying a log across your shoulders

while you’re hefting a boulder with your arms

Is nothing compared to the burden

of putting up with a fool.

4We’re blasted by anger and swamped by rage,

but who can survive jealousy?

5A spoken reprimand is better

than approval that’s never expressed.

6The wounds from a lover are worth it;

kisses from an enemy do you in.

7When you’ve stuffed yourself, you refuse dessert;

when you’re starved, you could eat a horse.

8People who won’t settle down, wandering hither and yon,

are like restless birds, flitting to and fro.

9Just as lotions and fragrance give sensual delight,

a sweet friendship refreshes the soul.

10Don’t leave your friends or your parents’ friends

and run home to your family when things get rough;

Better a nearby friend

than a distant family.

11Become wise, dear child, and make me happy;

then nothing the world throws my way will upset me.

12A prudent person sees trouble coming and ducks;

a simpleton walks in blindly and is clobbered.

13Hold tight to collateral on any loan to a stranger;

be wary of accepting what a transient has pawned.

14If you wake your friend in the early morning

by shouting “Rise and shine!”

It will sound to him

more like a curse than a blessing.

15-16A nagging spouse is like

the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet;

You can’t turn it off,

and you can’t get away from it.

Your Face Mirrors Your Heart

17You use steel to sharpen steel,

and one friend sharpens another.

18If you care for your orchard, you’ll enjoy its fruit;

if you honor your boss, you’ll be honored.

19Just as water mirrors your face,

so your face mirrors your heart.

20Hell has a voracious appetite,

and lust just never quits.

21The purity of silver and gold is tested

by putting them in the fire;

The purity of human hearts is tested

by giving them a little fame.

22Pound on a fool all you like—

you can’t pound out foolishness.

23-27Know your sheep by name;

carefully attend to your flocks;

(Don’t take them for granted;

possessions don’t last forever, you know.)

And then, when the crops are in

and the harvest is stored in the barns,

You can knit sweaters from lambs’ wool,

and sell your goats for a profit;

There will be plenty of milk and meat

to last your family through the winter.
