2 May another praise you and not your own mouth, a stranger and not your own lips.
3 Heavy is a stone and weighty is sand, but the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them.
4 Cruel is wrath and overwhelming is anger, but who will stand before jealousy?
5 Better a rebuke that is open than a love that is hidden.
6 The wounds of a friend mean well, but the kisses of an enemy are profane.
7 An appetite that is sated spurns honey, but to an appetite that is ravenous, all bitterness is sweet.
8 Like a bird that strays from its nest, so is a man who strays from his place.
