5Open rebuke is better than hidden love.
6Better are the wounds of a friend, than the deceitful kisses of an enemy.
7A soul that is full shall tread upon the honeycomb: and a soul that is hungry shall take even bitter for sweet.
8As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that leaveth his place.
9Ointment and perfumes rejoice the heart: and the good counsels of a friend are sweet to the soul.
10Thy own friend, and thy father’s friend forsake not: and go not into thy brother’s house in the day of thy affliction. Better is a neighbour that is near, than a brother afar off.
11Study wisdom, my son, and make my heart joyful, that thou mayst give an answer to him that reproacheth.
12The prudent man seeing evil hideth himself: little ones passing on have suffered losses.
13Take away his garment that hath been surety for a stranger: and take from him a pledge for strangers.
14He that blesseth his neighbour with a loud voice, rising in the night, shall be like to him that curseth.
15Roofs dropping through in a cold day, and a contentious woman are alike.
16He that retaineth her, is as he that would hold the wind, and shall call in the oil of his right hand.
17Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
