3 A stone is heavy and sand is weighty, But a fool’s wrath is heavier than both.
4 Wrath is cruel and displeasure overwhelming, But who is able to stand before jealousy?
5 Open reproof is better than hidden love.
6 The wounds of a friend are true, But the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
7 One satisfied loathes the honeycomb, But to a hungry one any bitter food is sweet.
8 Like a bird that wanders from its nest, So is a man who wanders from his place.
9 Ointment and perfume gladden the heart, So one’s counsel is sweet to his friend.
