3 A stone is weighty, and sand is burdensome; but the wrath of the foolish is heavier than both.
4 Anger holds no mercy, nor does fury when it erupts. And who can bear the assault of one who has been provoked?
5 An open rebuke is better than hidden love.
6 The wounds of a loved one are better than the deceitful kisses of a hateful one.
7 A sated soul will trample the honeycomb. And a hungry soul will accept even bitter in place of sweet.
