5Open reproof is better than love concealed.
6The blows a friend gives are well meant, but the kisses of an enemy are perfidious.
7Someone who is full may refuse honey from the comb, but to the hungry even bitter food tastes sweet.
8Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man straying from his home.
9Oil and incense bring joy to the heart, but cares torment one's very soul.
10Do not neglect your own friend or your father's. Do not run to your brother's house when you are in trouble. Better a neighbour near at hand than a brother far away!

24for possessions do not last for ever, nor will a crown endure to endless generations.
25The grass is cropped, new shoots are seen, and the green growth on the hills is gathered in;
26the lambs provide you with clothing, and the he-goats with the price of a field,
27while the goats' milk is food enough for your household and sustenance for your servant-girls.
