2 Let another man praise thee and not thine own mouth a stranger and not thine own lips

3 A stone is heavy and the sand weighty but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both

4 Wrath is cruel and anger is outrageous but who is able to stand before envy

5 Open rebuke is better than secret love

6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful

7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet

8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest so is a man that wandereth from his place

9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel

10 Thine own friend and thy father's friend forsake not neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off

11 My son be wise and make my heart glad that I may answer __ him that reproacheth me

12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself but the simple pass on and are punished

13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger and take a pledge of him for a strange woman

14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice rising early in the morning it shall be counted a curse to him

15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious __ woman are alike

16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind and the ointment of his right hand which bewrayeth itself

17 Iron sharpeneth iron so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend

18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured

19 As in water face answereth to face so the heart of man to man

20 Hell and destruction __ are never full so the eyes of man are never satisfied

21 As the fining pot for silver and the furnace for gold so is a man to his praise

22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle yet will not his foolishness depart from him

23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks and look well to thy herds

24 For riches are not for ever and doth the crown endure to every generation

25 The hay appeareth and the tender grass sheweth itself and herbs of the mountains are gathered

26 The lambs are for thy clothing and the goats are the price of the field

27 And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food for the food of thy household and for the maintenance for thy maidens
