4 Fury is cruel, and anger a flood,but who can withstand jealousy?
5 Better an open reprimandthan concealed love.
6 The wounds of a friend are trustworthy, but the kisses of an enemy are excessive.
7 A person who is full tramples on a honeycomb, but to a hungry person, any bitter thing is sweet.
8 A man wandering from his homeis like a bird wandering from its nest.
9 Oil and incense bring joy to the heart,and the sweetness of a friend is better than self-counsel.
10 Don’t abandon your friend or your father’s friend, and don’t go to your brother’s housein your time of calamity;better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
