2Let thy neighbor, and not thine own mouth, praise thee; A stranger, and not thine own lips.
3A stone is heavy, and sand cumbersome; But a fool’s wrath is heavier than both.
4Wrath is merciless, and anger sharp: But envy can bear nothing.
5Open reproofs are better than secret love.
6The wounds of a friend are more to be trusted Than the spontaneous kisses of an enemy.
7A full soul scorns honeycombs; But to a hungry soul even bitter things appear sweet.
8As when a bird flies down from its own nest, So a man is brought into bondage whenever he estranges himself from his own place.
