Proverbs 27:9-11

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

¹⁰Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend. Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster. A neighbour who is near is better than a distant brother.

¹¹Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.
