Proverbs 27:5-9
Proverbs 27:5-9 AMP
Better is an open reprimand [of loving correction] Than love that is hidden. [Prov 28:23; Gal 2:14] Faithful are the wounds of a friend [who corrects out of love and concern], But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful [because they serve his hidden agenda]. He who is satisfied loathes honey, But to the hungry soul any bitter thing is sweet. Like a bird that wanders from her nest [with its comfort and safety], So is a man who wanders from his home. Oil and perfume make the heart glad; So does the sweetness of a friend’s counsel that comes from the heart.
