BOAST   not   thyself   of   to   morrow;  for  thou  knowest  not  what  a  day  may  bring  forth.

Let  another  man  praise  thee,  and  not  thine  own  mouth;  a  stranger,  and  not  thine  own  lips.

A  stone  is  heavy,  and  the  sand  weighty;  but  a  fool's  wrath  is heavier  than  them  both.

Wrath  is  cruel,and  anger  is outrageous; but  who  is  able  to  stand  before  envy?

Open  rebuke  is  better  than a  secret  love.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are decietful.

The full soul loatheth an honeycomb;but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

As a bird wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.

Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

Be wise, and make my heart glad, that i may answer him that reproacheth me.

A prudent man forseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

He that blessth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind,and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.

Iron sharpeth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the friut thereof:so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

As in the water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of  man are never satisfied.

Wherefore I praised the dead whichare already dead more than the living which r yet alive.

Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

Better is an handful with queitness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.

Then i returned, and i saw vanity under the sun.

There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

To every thing there is a season,and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to b born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war and a time of peace.
