Hebrew Bible, Proverbs, 27.1
רֵעֲךָ ורעה [וְרֵעַ] אָבִיךָ אַל־תַּעֲזֹב וּבֵית אָחִיךָ אַל־תָּבוֹא בְּיוֹם אֵידֶךָ טוֹב שָׁכֵן קָרוֹב מֵאָח רָחוֹק׃ Boast not thyself of to- morrow; For thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
אַל־תִּתְהַלֵּל בְּיוֹם מָחָר כִּי לֹא־תֵדַע מַה־יֵּלֶד יוֹם׃ Boast not thyself of to- morrow; For thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
