9. Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart;so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.
10. Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend.Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster:better is a neighbor who is near than a distant brother.
11. Be wise, my son,and bring joy to my heart,then I can answer my tormentor.
12. A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge;but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
13. Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger.Hold it for a wayward woman!
