5. An open rebuke is better than hidden love.
6. The wounds of a loved one are better than the deceitful kisses of a hateful one.
7. A sated soul will trample the honeycomb. And a hungry soul will accept even bitter in place of sweet.
8. Just like a bird migrating from her nest, so also is a man who abandons his place.
9. Ointment and various perfumes delight the heart. And the good advice of a friend is sweet to the soul.
10. Do not dismiss your friend or your father's friend. And do not enter your brother's house in the day of your affliction. A close neighbor is better than a distant brother.
11. My son, study wisdom, and rejoice my heart, so that you may be able to respond to the one who reproaches.
