this the parables impartial which wrote out the friends king
glory God hides matter glory king esteems things
heaven high earth deep heart king unascertained
beat unproven silver and cleansed clean all
slay impious from presence king and set up in righteousness throne
not act ostentatiously before king nor in places mighty ones stand
better for the saying you ascend to me than humble you in presence mighty one what beheld eyes your speak
not fall into fight quickly lest not change mind at last when ever you berate the friend
withdraw to the rear not disdain
lest you berate indeed the friend the and fight your and the hatred not depart but will be to you equal death favor and friendship frees which give heed yourself that not reviled be but keep the ways your conciliatory
apple golden in pendant sardius so speak word
in ear-ring gold sardius costly bound word wise to heedful ear
as delivery snow in harvest for heat benefits so messenger trustworthy the sending him souls for the ones using benefit
as winds and clouds and rains apparent so the boasting over portions false
in long-suffering success kings tongue and soft breaks bones
honey finding eat the sufficient lest overfilled vomit forth
sparingly bring your foot to own friend lest filled you detest you
club and sword and bow pointed so and man the bearing witness the friend his witness false
way evil and foot lawbreaker destroyed in day evil
as vinegar draws hurtful so falling passion on body heart distresses as moth garment and worm wood so distress man hurts heart
if hungers the enemy your nourish him if thirsts give drink him
this for doing coals fire heap upon the head his the and lord recompense you good things
wind north arouses clouds face and impudent tongue aggravates
better live upon corner roof than with wife reviling in house common
as water cold soul thirsting kind so message good from land far off
as if any spring shut up and water exiting lay waste so unbecoming just fall before impious
eat honey much not good esteem but behooves words honorable
as city the walls thrown down and unwalled so man who not with counsel anything acts
