6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend;although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
7 A full soul loathes a honeycomb;but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.
8 As a bird that wanders from her nest,so is a man who wanders from his home.
9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart;so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.
10 Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend.Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster:better is a neighbor who is near than a distant brother.
11 Be wise, my son,and bring joy to my heart,then I can answer my tormentor.
12 A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge;but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
