7 A satiated soul treadeth down a honeycomb, And 'to' a hungry soul every bitter thing 'is' sweet.
8 As a bird wandering from her nest, So 'is' a man wandering from his place.
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart, And the sweetness of one's friend -- from counsel of the soul.
10 Thine own friend, and the friend of thy father, forsake not, And the house of thy brother enter not In a day of thy calamity, Better 'is' a near neighbour than a brother afar off.
11 Be wise, my son, and rejoice my heart. And I return my reproacher a word.
