Proverbs 27:9-15

⁹The heart delighteth in ointment, and diverse odours; and a soul is made sweet by the good counsels of a friend.

¹⁰Forsake thou not thy friend, and the friend of thy father; and enter thou not into the house of thy brother, in the day of thy torment. Better is a neighbour nigh, than a brother afar.

¹¹My son, study thou about wisdom, and make thou glad mine heart; that thou mayest answer a word to a despiser.

¹²A fell man seeing evil was hid; little men of wit passing forth suffered harms.

¹³Take thou away his cloth, that promised for a stranger; and take thou away a wed from him for an alien man.

¹⁴He that blesseth his neighbour with a great voice; and riseth by night, shall be like him that curseth.

¹⁵Roofs dropping in the day of cold, and a woman full of chiding, be likened together.
