17Enter sparingly into your friend's house, lest he be satiated with your company, and hate you.
18As a club, and a dagger, and a pointed arrow, so also is a man who bears false witness against his friend.
19The way of the wicked and the foot of the transgressor shall perish in an evil day.
20As vinegar is bad for a sore, so trouble befalling the body afflicts the heart. As a moth in a garment, and a worm in wood, so the grief of a man hurts the heart.
21If your enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink;
22for so doing you shall heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward you with good.
23The north wind raises clouds; so an impudent face provokes the tongue.
24It is better to dwell on a corner of the roof, than with a railing woman in an open house.
25As cold water is agreeable to a thirsting soul, so is a good message from a land far off.
26As if one should stop a well, and corrupt a spring of water, so is it unseemly for a righteous man to fall before an ungodly man.
27It is not good to eat much honey; but it is right to honor venerable sayings.
28As a city whose walls are broken down, and which is unfortified, so is a man who does anything without counsel.
