4. Cruel is wrath and overwhelming is anger, but who will stand before jealousy?
5. Better a rebuke that is open than a love that is hidden.
6. The wounds of a friend mean well, but the kisses of an enemy are profane.
7. An appetite that is sated spurns honey, but to an appetite that is ravenous, all bitterness is sweet.
8. Like a bird that strays from its nest, so is a man who strays from his place.
9. Perfume and incense will gladden a heart, and the pleasantness of one’s friend is personal advice.
