1
Have you found [pleasure sweet like] honey? Eat only as much as you need, Otherwise, being filled excessively, you vomit it.
2
Let your foot seldom be in your neighbor's house, Or he will become tired of you and hate you.
3
Like a club and a sword and a piercing arrow Is a man who testifies falsely against his neighbor (acquaintance).
4
Like a broken tooth or an unsteady foot Is confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble.
5
Like one who takes off a garment in cold weather, or like [a reactive, useless mixture of] vinegar on soda, Is he who [thoughtlessly] sings [joyful] songs to a heavy heart.
6
If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
7
For in doing so, you will[2] heap coals of fire upon his head, And the LORD will reward you.
8
The north wind brings forth rain; And a backbiting tongue, an angry countenance.
