1 Do not make a noise about tomorrow, for you are not certain what a day's outcome may be.
1 Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.
2 Let another man give you praise, and not your mouth; one who is strange to you, and not your lips.
2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
3 A stone has great weight, and sand is crushing; but the wrath of the foolish is of greater weight than these.
3 A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
4 Wrath is cruel, and angry feeling an overflowing stream; but who does not give way before envy?
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?

5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

8 As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.

9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.
10 Do not give up your friend and your father's friend; and do not go into your brother's house in the day of your trouble: better is a neighbour who is near than a brother far off.
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 My son, be wise and make my heart glad, so that I may give back an answer to him who puts me to shame.
11 Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.
12 The sharp man sees the evil and takes cover: the simple go straight on and get into trouble.
12 A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
13 Take a man's clothing if he makes himself responsible for a strange man, and get an undertaking from him who gives his word for strange men.
13 Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman!
14 He who gives a blessing to his friend with a loud voice, getting up early in the morning, will have it put to his account as a curse.
14 He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse by him.
15 Like an unending dropping on a day of rain is a bitter-tongued woman.
15 A continual dropping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike:

16 restraining her is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in his right hand.

18 Whoever keeps a fig-tree will have its fruit; and the servant waiting on his master will be honoured.
18 Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit. He who looks after his master shall be honored.
19 Like face looking at face in water, so are the hearts of men to one another.
19 Like water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man.
20 The underworld and Abaddon are never full, and the eyes of man have never enough.
20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.
21 The heating-pot is for silver and the oven-fire for gold, and a man is measured by what he is praised for.
21 The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.
22 Even if a foolish man is crushed with a hammer in a vessel among crushed grain, still his foolish ways will not go from him.

25 The hay is removed, and the new growth appears, the grasses of the hills are gathered in.
26 The lambs are for your clothing, and the he-goats make the value of a field:
26 The lambs are for your clothing, and the goats are the price of a field.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
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.

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.
