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.
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 neighbor who is near than a distant brother.
