Proverbs and the Instruction of Amenemope
Proverbs | Amenemope |
Direct your ear and hear wise words. Set your heart to know them. For it is pleasant if you keep them in your inmost self. (22:17-18a) | Give your ears and hear what is said, give your mind over to their interpretation: It is profitable to put them in your heart. (3,10) |
Have I not written for you thirty counsels and teachings to teach you what is right and true? (22:20) | Mark for your self these thirty chapters: They please, they instruct, they are the foremost of all books. (27,7) |
Do not make friends with people prone to anger. With the hotheaded person do not associate. (22:24) | Do not fraternize with the hot-tempered man, nor approach him to converse. (11,12) |
When you sit down to eat with a ruler, observe what is before you. Put a knife to your throat if you have a big appetite. (23:1-2) | Look at the cup in front of you, and let it suffice your need. (23,16) |
