¹¹ He that loveth ^[a]pureness of heart,
^[b]For the grace of his lips the king will be his friend.

²⁴ Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger;
And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go:

²⁶ He ^[a]kisseth the lips
Who giveth a right answer.

⁶ Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
But the kisses of an enemy are profuse.

⁹ Oil and perfume rejoice the heart;
So doth the sweetness of a man’s friend that cometh of hearty counsel.
¹⁰ Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not;
And go not to thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity:
Better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off.

¹⁷ Iron sharpeneth iron;
So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

⁷ Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son;
But he that is a companion of gluttons shameth his father.

⁵ A man that flattereth his neighbor
Spreadeth a net for his steps.
