11 Be wise, my son, And bring joy to my heart, Then I can answer my tormentor.
12 A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it:
13 Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger; Hold it for a wayward woman!
14 He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, It will be taken as a curse by him.
15 A continual dropping on a rainy day And a contentious wife are alike:
16 Restraining her is like restraining the wind, Or like grasping oil in his right hand.
17 Iron sharpens iron; So a man sharpens his friend`s countenance.
