¹¹ He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully
    is the king’s friend.

²⁶ An honest answer
    is like a kiss on the lips.

⁶ The wounds of a friend are faithful,
    although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.

⁹ Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart;
    so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.
¹⁰ Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend.
    Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster.
    A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.

⁷ Whoever keeps the law is a wise son;
    but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.

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