WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 No presumas del día de mañana porque no sabes lo que el día traerá.
1 Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.
2 Deja que sean otros los que te alaben; no te alabes tú mismo.
2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
3 La piedra es pesada y la arena es toda una carga, pero el enojo del necio pesa más que ellas.
3 A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
4 La ira es cruel y agobiante el enojo, pero ¿quién puede enfrentarse a la envidia?
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
5 Es mejor la reprensión franca que el amor en secreto.
5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
6 Son mejores las heridas del amigo que los besos del enemigo.
6 The wounds of a friend are faithful, although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
7 Hasta la miel empalaga al que está satisfecho; pero al que tiene hambre lo amargo le sabe dulce.
7 A full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.
8 El hombre que se aleja de su hogar es como el pájaro que se aleja de su nido.
8 As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.
9 El consejo sincero de un amigo endulza el alma, como el perfume y el incienso alegran el corazón.
9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.
10 No abandones a tu amigo ni al amigo de tu padre. No vayas a la casa de tu hermano cuando necesites ayuda. Más vale vecino cerca que hermano lejos.
10 Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend. Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster. A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.
11 Hijo mío, sé sabio y alegrarás mi corazón, así podré responder a los que me desprecian.
11 Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.
12 El prudente ve el peligro y se protege; el imprudente sigue adelante y sufre las consecuencias.
12 A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
13 Toma en prenda la ropa del que salió de fiador de un extraño.
13 Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman!
14 El mejor saludo se juzga una impertinencia cuando se da a gritos y de madrugada.
14 He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse by him.
15 Como gotera constante en día lluvioso es la mujer que constantemente pelea.
15 A continual dropping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike:
16 Lograr que deje de pelear es como detener el viento o retener aceite en la mano.
16 restraining her is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in his right hand.
17 El hierro se afila con el hierro y el hombre al relacionarse con el hombre.
17 Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.
18 El que cuida de la higuera come sus higos, el que cuida de su amo recibe honores.
18 Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit. He who looks after his master shall be honored.
19 Como el agua refleja el rostro, el corazón refleja a la persona.
19 Like water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.
20 El sepulcro, la muerte y los ojos del hombre jamás se dan por satisfechos.
20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.
21 El fuego prueba la pureza de la plata y el oro, pero al hombre lo prueban las alabanzas.
21 The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.
22 Aunque al necio lo muelas y lo vuelvas a moler y lo reduzcas a polvo como al grano, no le quitarás lo necio.
22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain, yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.
23 Date cuenta de la condición de tus rebaños y cuida mucho de tus ovejas;
23 Know well the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds,
24 porque ni las riquezas ni la corona duran por siempre.
24 for riches are not forever, nor does the crown endure to all generations.
25 Cuando salga el pasto y brote el verdor, y se recoja la hierba en los montes,
25 The hay is removed, and the new growth appears, the grasses of the hills are gathered in.
26 tus ovejas te darán lana para vestidos, y tus cabras para comprar un terreno;
26 The lambs are for your clothing, and the goats are the price of a field.
27 tendrás suficiente leche de cabra para alimentarte tú, tu familia y tus siervos.
27 There will be plenty of goats’ milk for your food, for your family’s food, and for the nourishment of your servant girls.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Have pity, O Lord God, lest they who pass by trample on the unfledged bird; and send Thine angel, who may restore it to its nest that it may live until it can fly.

Hence it is written, "Let not thy own mouth praise thee, but let thy neighbor's" mouth praise thee. But this was said to man.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 7 (1888)
There is a precept laid on man: "Let not thine own mouth praise thee, but the mouth of thy neighbor." For self-pleasing is a perilous thing for one who has to be on his guard against falling into pride.
