20 Wine and music rejoice the heart, but the love of wisdom is above them both.
21 The flute and the psaltery make a sweet melody, but a pleasant word is above them both.
22 Your eye desires elegance and beauty, but verdant fields are above these things.
23 A friend and a companion meet one another in time, but above them both is a wife with her husband.
24 Brothers are a help in time of tribulation, but mercy will liberate, more so than they will.
