| 2 | Let another praise you, and not your own mouth — a stranger, and not your own lips. | Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips. | Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider, and not your own lips. | |
| 3 | A stone is heavy, and sand a burden, but aggravation from a fool outweighs them both. | A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty, but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both. | Stone is heavy and sand a burden, but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both. | |
| 4 | Fury is cruel, and anger a flood, but who can withstand jealousy? | Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy? | Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy? | |
| 5 | Better an open reprimand than concealed love. | Better is open rebuke than hidden love. | Better is open rebuke than hidden love. | |
| 6 | The wounds of a friend are trustworthy, but the kisses of an enemy are excessive. | Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy. | Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses. | |
