fervent lips[[199]] and a bad heart (xxvi. 23).
Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth:
a stranger, and not thine own lips (xxvii. 2).
Faithful are the wounds of one who loves,
but the kisses of a hater are profuse[[200]] (xxvii. 6).
Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not;
and go not to thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity:
better is a near neighbour than a far off brother[[201]] (xxvii. 10).
He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning,
it is reckoned to him for a curse[[202]] (xxvii. 14).
