Don’t brag about tomorrow, since you don’t know what the will bring. Let someone else praise, no your own mouth-a stranger, not your own lips. (vv. 1-2, NLT)
The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense. (v. 9, NLT)
A prudent person person foresees danger and takes precautions. A simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. ((v. 12, NLT)
As a face is reflected in the water, so the heart reflects the real person. Just as Death and Destruction is never satisfied, so human desire is never satisfied. (v. 1 9, NLT)
