¹¹ He who loves pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips
    the king will be his friend.

²⁶ Every man will kiss his lips
    that gives a right answer.

⁶ Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
    but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

⁹ Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart,
    so does the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.

¹⁰ Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend,
    nor go into your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;
    for better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far off.

¹⁷ Iron sharpens iron,
    so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

⁷ Whoever keeps the law is a wise son,
    but he who is a companion of riotous men shames his father.

⁵ A man who flatters his neighbor
    spreads a net for his feet.
