20:027:003 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
20:027:004 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
20:027:005 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
20:027:006 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
20:027:007 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
20:027:008 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
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.
