20 The belly can devour any food, yet one meal is better than another.
21 The palate tests the meat of wild animals, and the understanding heart tests false words.
22 A corrupt heart will cause grief, and a man of experience will resist it.
23 A woman can receive any male, yet one daughter is better than another.
24 The beauty of a wife cheers the face of her husband, and rises above his desire, above all the desires of man.
