^11 (A)He who loves purity of heart
And has grace on his lips,
The king will be his friend.

²⁴ Make no friendship with an angry man,
And with a ^(A)furious man do not go,

²⁶ He who gives a right answer kisses the lips.

⁶ Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
But the kisses of an enemy are ^(A)deceitful.

⁹ Ointment and perfume delight the heart,
And the sweetness of a man’s friend gives delight by ^[a]hearty counsel.

¹⁰ Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend,
Nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;
^(A)Better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.

¹⁷ As iron sharpens iron,
So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

⁷ Whoever keeps the law is a discerning son,
But a companion of gluttons shames his father.

⁵ A man who ^(A)flatters his neighbor
Spreads a net for his feet.
