Do not boast about  what you will do tomorrow, because you do not know what will happen PRS on any day. 
Do not praise yourself MTY, PRS; allow others to praise you. If someone else praises you, that is okay. 
 It causes pain to our bodies to carry heavy stones or  a pail full of sand, but doing something stupid/foolish  can cause great  pain to other people’s spirits. 
It is cruel to be angry  with others, and our being angry sometimes destroys  others, but being jealous of someone is RHQ often more cruel than that. 
It is better to correct someone openly than to show that you ldon’t ove that person  by not correcting him. 
If a friend criticizes you,  he is a good friend and you can trust him; but if one of your enemies kisses you, he is probably wanting to deceive you. 
When someone’s stomach is full, he does not want to eat honey; but when someone is  very hungry, he thinks that  even bitter things taste sweet. 
Anyone who wanders  far from his home/family is like SIM a bird that is far from its nest. 
 Putting olive oil and perfume on a person’s skin causes him to feel good, but having a friend  who gives good advice  is even better. 
Do not neglect your friends or your parents’ friends; and at a time when you are experiencing a disaster, do not go to a relative  who lives far away to request his help; someone who lives near you can help you more than relatives who live far away. 
My child/son, cause me to be happy by becoming wise, in order that I will  know how to reply to those who would criticize me  about your behavior. 
Those who have good sense will realize that there is something dangerous ahead, and they will hide; those who do not have good sense  just keep going, and later they will suffer because of  doing that. 
 You deserve to have your property taken from you if you  foolishly promise to a stranger (OR, a strange woman) that you will pay what she owes if she is unable to pay it DOU. 
If you rise early in the morning and call out a greeting to your neighbor  while he is still sleeping, he will consider it to be a curse,  not a blessing. 
 Having a wife that is  constantly nagging is as  bad as listening to rain continually dripping on a rainy day. 
 Trying to restrain/stop her  from doing that is as  difficult SIM  as trying to stop the wind or  trying to hold oil in your hand. 
 We can use one iron tool to sharpen  another iron  tool; similarly SIM,  when one person shares what he is thinking, it can help other people  to think more clearly. 
Those who take care of fig trees will have figs to eat;  similarly, servants who protect their master will be honored  by him. 
 When a person looks in the water, he sees his own face; similarly SIM,  when we look at a person’s behavior, we know what he is thinking. 
 It is as though the place where the dead people are is always wanting more people to  die and come there; and humans SYN are always wanting to acquire more things,  too. 
 Workers put silver and gold in a very hot furnace  to burn out what is impure, and SIM people learn  what we are really like when they see how we react when people praise us. 
Even if you beat/crush a fool severely  like MET you pulverize grain with a pestle, you probably will not be able to cause him to stop ◄being foolish/doing foolish things►. 
Take good care of your flocks of sheep and herds of cattle, 
because the money  that you acquired from selling animals previously will not ◄last/stay with you► forever; similarly SIM, governments MTY certainly do not RHQ last forever. 
After you cut the hay DOU and  store it to feed the animals in the winter while a new crop of hay is growing, 
you will be able to  shear the sheep and make clothes from the wool, and you will get money from selling  some of the goats to buy  more land, 
and you will get enough milk from the  other goats for you and your family and your female servants.
