3 A stone is heavy and sand is weighty,but vexation by a fool is more burdensome than the two of them.
4 Wrath is cruel and anger is overwhelming,but who can stand before jealousy?
5 Better is open rebukethan hidden love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend,but the kisses of an enemy are excessive.
7 The one whose appetite is satisfied loathes honey,but to the hungry mouth every bitter thing is sweet.
8 Like a bird that wanders from its nest,so is a person who wanders from his home.
9 Ointment and incense make the heart rejoice,likewise the sweetness of one’s friend from sincere counsel.
