Proverbs 27:5-14

Open rebuke is better
Than secret love.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
The full soul loatheth an honeycomb;
But to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
As a bird that wandereth from her nest,
So is a man that wandereth from his place.
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart:
So doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not;
Neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity:
For better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
That I may answer him that reproacheth me.
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself;
But the simple pass on, and are punished.
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger,
And take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning,
It shall be counted a curse to him.
