6 Wounds made by a friend are intended to help,but an enemy’s kisses are too much to bear.
7 One who is full despises honey,but to one who is hungry,even bitter food tastes sweet.
8 Like a bird wandering from its nest,so is a husband wandering from his home.
9 Perfume and incense make the heart glad,but the sweetness of a friend is a fragrant forest.
10 Do not abandon your friend or your father’s friend.Do not go to a relative’s home when you are in trouble.A neighbor living nearby is better than a relative far away.
11 Be wise, my son, and make my heart gladso that I can answer anyone who criticizes me.
12 Sensible people foresee trouble and hide.Gullible people go ahead ⌊and⌋ suffer.
