9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
10 Thy 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 neighbor that is near, than a brother far off.
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.
16 Whoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand which bewrayeth itself.
18 He that keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit of it: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honored.
22 Though thou shouldst bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
25 The plant appeareth, and the tender grass showeth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
