Wise one esteems themself who knows how to question
and how to answer as well;
the children of humans cannot keep secret
what's going around about folk.

The foolish person thinks they know everything
if they cower in a corner;
They don't know what they can say in return
if people ask them questions

The foolish one thinks that everyone
is their friend who laughs with them;
but then they find when they come to the Assembly
that they have few to speak on their behalf.

The stupid man lies awake all night
and worries about everything;
he's tired out when the morning comes and all’s just as bad as it was.

They are a wretched person, of evil disposition,
the one who makes fun of everything;
They doesn't know the one thing they ought to know:
that they are not devoid of faults.

Cattle know when they ought to go home,
and then they leave the pasture;
but the foolish person never figures
the measure of their own stomach.

The greedy person, unless they guard against this tendency,
will eat themself into lifelong trouble;
often when they come among the wise,
the foolish person's stomach is laughed at.

Let no one hold onto the cup, but drink mead in moderation,
Let them say what’s necessary or be silent;
no person will scold you
because you go off early to bed.

and who has journeyed a great deal knows
what sort of mind each person controls;
They who’s sharp in their wits.

The fool stares when they come on a visit,
They mutter to themself or hovers about;
But it’s all up with them if they get a swig of drink;
The person’s mind is exposed.

Drunk I was, I was more than drunk
at wise Suttung’s;
that’s the best sort of ale-drinking when afterwards every one gets theor mind back again.

The forgetfulness-heron it’s called,
Who hovers over ale-drinking;
It steals a persons mind;
With this bird’s feathers I was fettered in the court of Gunnlod.

It isn’t good as it’s said to be,

They are lucky, the person who keeps in themself praise and wit while they live;
for bad advice people have often received from another’s breast.

Wits are needful for someone who wanders widely,
anything will pass at home;
They become a laughing-stock, the person who knows nothing
and sits among the wise.

Water is needful for someone who comes to a meal,
a towel and a warm welcome,
a disposition, if they can get it,
speech and silence in return.

‘Blessed be the givers!’ A guest has come in,
where is he going to sit?
They are in great haste, the one who by the log-stack
is going to try their luck.

All the doorways, before one enters,
should be looked around,
should be spied out;
it can’t be known for certain where enemies are sitting
in the hall ahead.
