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.
9The heart delights in ointments and wines and perfumes: but the soul is broken by calamities.
10Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; and when thou art in distress go not into thy brother's house: better is a friend that is near than a brother living far off.
