20:027:009 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness
of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
20:027:010 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.
20:027:011 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him
that reproacheth me.
20:027:012 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the
simple pass on, and are punished.
20:027:013 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a
pledge of him for a strange woman.
20:027:014 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in
the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
20:027:015 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious
woman are alike.
20:027:016 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his
right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
20:027:017 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of
his friend.
20:027:018 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he
that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
