Proverbs 27:4-10

⁴Wrath is cruel, and anger overwhelming; But who is able to stand before jealousy?

⁵Better is open rebuke Than love kept concealed.

⁶Faithful are the wounds of a friend; But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

⁷He who is fed to the full loatheth the honeycomb; But to the hungry any bitter thing is sweet.

⁸As a bird that wandereth from its nest, So is a man who wandereth from his place.

⁹Oil and perfume gladden the heart; Sweet also is one's friend by hearty counsel.

¹⁰Thine own friend and thy father's friend forsake not; And go not into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity. Better is a neighbor that is near, than a brother far off.
