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 rebuke Than 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.
