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.
11Son, be wise, that thy heart may rejoice; And remove thou from thyself reproachful words.
12A wise man, when evils are approaching, hides himself; But fools pass on, and will be punished.
13Take away the man’s garment (for a scorner has passed by), Whoever lays waste another’s goods.
14Whosoever shall bless a friend in the morning with a loud voice, Shall seem to differ nothing from one who curses him.
15On a stormy day drops of rain drive a man out of his house; So also does a railing woman drive a man out of his own house.
16The north wind is sharp, But it is called by name propitious.
17Iron sharpens iron; And a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.
