and anger is overwhelming;

than hidden love.

Selected verse

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.

A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.
