9Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.H8081H7004H8055H3820H4986H7453H5315H6098

10Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.H7453H1H7453H5800H935H251H1004H3117H343H2896H7934H7138H251H7350

15A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.H2956H1812H5464H3117H4079H4066H802H7737

16Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.H6845H6845H7307H8081H3225H7121

17Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.H1270H2300H1270H376H2300H6440H7453

18Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.H5341H8384H398H6529H8104H113H3513

19As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.H4325H6440H6440H3820H120H120

20Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.H7585H11H10H3808H7646H5869H120H7646

24For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?H2633H5769H5145H1755H1755

25The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.H2682H1540H1877H7200H6212H2022H622

26The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.H3532H3830H6260H4242H7704
