8 A person who leaves his homeis like a bird that leaves its nest.
9 The sweet smell of perfume and oils is pleasant,and so is good advice from a friend.
10 Don’t forget your friend or your parent’s friend.Don’t always go to your family for help when trouble comes.A neighbor close by is better than a family far away.
11 Be wise, my child, and make me happy.Then I can respond to any insult.
12 The wise see danger ahead and avoid it,but fools keep going and get into trouble.
13 Take the coat of someone who promises to pay a stranger’s loan,and keep it until he pays what the stranger owes.
14 If you loudly greet your neighbor early in the morning,he will think of it as a curse.
