⁵ It is better to correct someone openly
    than to love him and not show it.

⁶ The slap of a friend can be trusted to help you.
    But the kisses of an enemy are nothing but lies.

⁹ Perfume and oils make you happy.
    And good advice from a friend is sweet.

¹⁰ Don’t forget your friend or your father’s friend.
    Don’t always go to your brother for help when trouble comes.
    A neighbor close by is better than a brother far away.

¹⁴ Don’t greet your neighbor loudly early in the morning.
    He will think of it as a curse.

¹⁷ Iron can sharpen iron.
    In the same way, people can help each other.
