5Better is reproof that is arevealedThanlove that is hidden.6Faithful are the awounds of a friend,But 1deceitful are the bkisses of an enemy.
Proverbs 27:9-10
9aOil and incensemake the heartglad,So counsel from the 1soul is sweet to his friend.10Do not forsake your afriend or byour father’sfriend,And do not come to your brother’shousein the day of your disaster;Better is one who dwellsnearthan a brotherfaraway.
Proverbs 27:14
14aHe who blesses his friend with a loudvoiceearly in the morning,It will be counted as a curse to him.
