2. Let another man praise you,and not your own mouth;a stranger, and not your own lips.
3. A stone is heavy,and sand is a burden;but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
4. Wrath is cruel,and anger is overwhelming;but who is able to stand before jealousy?
5. Better is open rebukethan hidden love.
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 neighbour who is near than a distant brother.
