Proverbs 27:5-8

⁵Open reproofs are better than secret love.

⁶The wounds of a friend are more to be trusted than the spontaneous kisses of an enemy.

⁷A full soul scorns honeycombs; but to a hungry soul even bitter things appear sweet.

⁸As when a bird flies down from its own nest, so a man is brought into bondage whenever he estranges himself from his own place.
