WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Boast not for tomorrow, for thou knowest not what the day to come may bring forth.
1 NO te jactes del día de mañana; porque no sabes qué dará de sí el día.
1 Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.
2 Let another praise thee, and not thy own mouth: a stranger, and not thy own lips.
2 Alábete el extraño, y no tu boca; el ajeno, y no tus labios.
2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
3 A stone is heavy, and sand weighty: but the anger of a fool is heavier than them both.
3 Pesada es la piedra, y la arena pesa; mas la ira del necio es más pesada que ambas cosas.
3 A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
4 Anger hath no mercy, nor fury when it breaketh forth: and who can bear the violence of one provoked?
4 Cruel es la ira, é impetuoso el furor; mas ¿quién parará delante de la envidia?
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?
5 Open rebuke is better than hidden love.
5 Mejor es reprensión manifiesta que amor oculto.
5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
6 Better are the wounds of a friend, than the deceitful kisses of an enemy.
6 Fieles son las heridas del que ama; pero importunos los besos del que aborrece.
6 The wounds of a friend are faithful, although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
7 A soul that is full shall tread upon the honeycomb: and a soul that is hungry shall take even bitter for sweet.
7 El alma harta huella el panal de miel; mas al alma hambrienta todo lo amargo es dulce.
7 A full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that leaveth his place.
8 Cual ave que se va de su nido, tal es el hombre que se va de su lugar.
8 As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.
9 Ointment and perfumes rejoice the heart: and the good counsels of a friend are sweet to the soul.
9 El ungüento y el perfume alegran el corazón: y el amigo al hombre con el cordial consejo.
9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.
10 Thy own friend, and thy father’s friend forsake not: and go not into thy brother’s house in the day of thy affliction. Better is a neighbour that is near, than a brother afar off.
10 No dejes á tu amigo, ni al amigo de tu padre; ni entres en casa de tu hermano el día de tu aflicción: mejor es el vecino cerca que el hermano lejano.
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 Study wisdom, my son, and make my heart joyful, that thou mayst give an answer to him that reproacheth.
11 Sé sabio, hijo mío, y alegra mi corazón, y tendré qué responder al que me deshonrare.
11 Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.
12 The prudent man seeing evil hideth himself: little ones passing on have suffered losses.
12 El avisado ve el mal, [y] escóndese; [mas] los simples pasan, [y] llevan el daño.
12 A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
13 Take away his garment that hath been surety for a stranger: and take from him a pledge for strangers.
13 Quítale su ropa al que fió al extraño; y [al que fió] á la extraña, tómale prenda.
13 Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman!
14 He that blesseth his neighbour with a loud voice, rising in the night, shall be like to him that curseth.
14 El que bendice á su amigo en alta voz, madrugando de mañana, por maldición se le contará.
14 He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse by him.
15 Roofs dropping through in a cold day, and a contentious woman are alike.
15 Gotera continua en tiempo de lluvia, y la mujer rencillosa, son semejantes:
15 A continual dropping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike:
16 He that retaineth her, is as he that would hold the wind, and shall call in the oil of his right hand.
16 El que pretende contenerla, arresta el viento: ó el aceite en su mano derecha.
16 restraining her is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in his right hand.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

18 El que guarda la higuera, comerá su fruto; y el que guarda á su señor, será honrado.

19 As the faces of them that look therein, shine in the water, so-the hearts of men are laid open to the wise.
19 Como un agua se parece á otra, así el corazón del hombre al otro.

20 Hell and destruction are never filled: so the eyes of men are never satisfied.
20 El sepulcro y la perdición nunca se hartan: así los ojos del hombre nunca están satisfechos.
20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.
21 As silver is tried in the fining-pot and gold in the furnace: so a man is tried by the mouth of him that praiseth. The heart of the wicked seeketh after evils, but the righteous heart seeketh after knowledge.
21 El crisol [prueba] la plata, y la hornaza el oro: y al hombre la boca del que lo alaba.
21 The crucible is for silver, and the furnace for gold; but man is refined by his praise.
22 Though thou shouldst bray a fool in the mortar, as when a pestle striketh upon sodden barley, his folly would not be taken from him.
22 Aunque majes al necio en un mortero entre granos de trigo á pisón majados, no se quitará de él su necedad.
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 Be diligent to know the countenance of thy cattle, and consider thy own flocks:
23 Considera atentamente el aspecto de tus ovejas; pon tu corazón á tus rebaños:
23 Know well the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds,
24 For thou shalt not always have power: but a crown shall be given to generation and generation.
24 Porque las riquezas no son para siempre; ¿y [será] la corona para perpetuas generaciones?
24 for riches are not forever, nor does the crown endure to all generations.
25 The meadows are open, and the green herbs have appeared, and the hay is gathered out of the mountains.
25 Saldrá la grama, aparecerá la hierba, y segaránse las hierbas de los montes.
25 The hay is removed, and the new growth appears, the grasses of the hills are gathered in.
26 Lambs are for thy clothing: and kids for the price of the field.
26 Los corderos para tus vestidos, y los cabritos para el precio del campo:
26 The lambs are for your clothing, and the goats are the price of a field.
27 Let the milk of the goats be enough for thy food, and for the necessities of thy house, and for maintenance for thy handmaids.
27 Y abundancia de leche de las cabras para tu mantenimiento, y para mantenimiento de tu casa, y para sustento de tus criadas.
27 There will be plenty of goats’ milk for your food, for your family’s food, and for the nourishment of your servant girls.

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.
Leer en contexto · 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.
