2
Let 1another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
3
A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty, but 2a fool's provocation is heavier than both.

Like 7a bird that strays from its nest is a man who strays from his home.
9
8Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.a
10
Do not forsake your friend and 9your father's friend, and do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity. 10Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away.

17
Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.d
19
As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man.
21
24The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and a man is tested by his praise.
22
25Crush a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, yet his folly will not depart from him.

27
31There will be enough goats' milk for your food, for the food of your household and maintenance for your girls.
