Proverbs

²Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider, and not your own lips. ³Stone is heavy and sand a burden, but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both. ⁴Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy? ⁵Better is open rebuke than hidden love. ⁶Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses. ⁷One who is full loathes honey from the comb, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet. ⁸Like a bird that flees its nest is anyone who flees from home.
