1 Boast not thyself of to-morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. 2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips. 3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's vexation is heavier than they both. 4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy? 5 Better is open rebuke than love that is hidden. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are importunate. 7 The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. 8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place. 9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart; so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. 10 Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity; better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off. 11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that taunteth me. 12 A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the thoughtless pass on, and are punished. 13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; and hold him in pledge that is surety for an alien woman. 14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. 15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike; 16 He that would hide her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand betrayeth itself. 17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. 18 Whoso keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit thereof; and he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured. 19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. 20 The nether-world and Destruction are never satiated; so the eyes of man are never satiated. 21 The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, and a man is tried by his praise. 22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar with a pestle among groats, yet will not his foolishness depart from him. 23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds; 24 For riches are not for ever; and doth the crown endure unto all generations? 25 When the hay is mown, and the tender grass showeth itself, and the herbs of the mountains are gathered in; 26 The lambs will be for thy clothing, and the goats the price for a field. 27 And there will be goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household; and maintenance for thy maidens.

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.
