9 - Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart;so does earnest counsel from a man's friend.

20 - Sheo l and Abaddon are never satisfied;and a man's eyes are never satisfied.

22 - Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain,yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.

24 - for riches are not forever,nor does the crown endure to all generations.
25 - The hay is removed, and the new growth appears,the grasses of the hills are gathered in.
26 - The lambs are for your clothing,and the goats are the price of a field.
27 - There will be plenty of goats' milk for your food,for your family's food,and for the nourishment of your servant girls.
