8As a bird passing over from his nest, so is a man that forsaketh his place.
9The heart delighteth in ointment, and diverse odours; and a soul is made sweet by the good counsels of a friend.
10Forsake thou not thy friend, and the friend of thy father; and enter thou not into the house of thy brother, in the day of thy torment. Better is a neighbour nigh, than a brother afar.
11My son, study thou about wisdom, and make thou glad mine heart; that thou mayest answer a word to a despiser.
12A fell man seeing evil was hid; little men of wit passing forth suffered harms.
13Take thou away his cloth, that promised for a stranger; and take thou away a wed from him for an alien man.
14He that blesseth his neighbour with a great voice; and riseth by night, shall be like him that curseth.
15Roofs dropping in the day of cold, and a woman full of chiding, be likened together.
16He that withholdeth her, as if he holdeth or held the wind; and voideth out the oil of his right hand.
17Iron is whetted by iron; and a man whetteth the face of his friend.
18He that keepeth a fig tree, shall eat the fruits thereof; and he that is a keeper of his lord, shall be glorified.
19As the cheers of men beholding themselves shine in waters; so the hearts of men be open to prudent men.
20Hell and perdition shall not be filled; so and the eyes of men be not able to be filled or be unfillable.
