8 Just like a bird migrating from her nest, so also is a man who abandons his place.
9 Ointment and various perfumes delight the heart. And the good advice of a friend is sweet to the soul.
10 Do not dismiss your friend or your father's friend. And do not enter your brother's house in the day of your affliction. A close neighbor is better than a distant brother.
11 My son, study wisdom, and rejoice my heart, so that you may be able to respond to the one who reproaches.
12 The discerning man, seeing evil, hides himself. The little ones, continuing on, sustain losses.
