⁷ One who is full loathes honey,

but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet.

⁸ Like a bird that strays from its nest

is a man who strays from his home.

⁹ Oil and perfume make the heart glad,

and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.

¹⁰ Do not forsake your friend and your father’s friend,

and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity.

Better is a neighbor who is near

than a brother who is far away.

¹¹ Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad,

that I may answer him who reproaches me.

¹² The prudent sees danger and hides himself,

but the simple go on and suffer for it.

¹³ Take a man’s garment when he has put up security for a stranger,

and hold it in pledge when he puts up security for an adulteress.

¹⁴ Whoever blesses his neighbor with a loud voice,

rising early in the morning,

will be counted as cursing.

¹⁵ A continual dripping on a rainy day

and a quarrelsome wife are alike;

¹⁶ to restrain her is to restrain the wind

or to grasp oil in one’s right hand.
