3 A stone is heavy and sand a burden, but provocation by a fool is heavier than both.
4 Wrath is cruel and anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?
5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but excessive the kisses of an enemy.
7 One who is full loathes honeycomb, but to one who is hungry every bitter thing is sweet.
8 Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man that wanders from his home.
9 As ointment and perfume gladden the heart, so the sweetness of one’s friend comes from his sincere counsel.
