Proverbs 27:5-10

View Full Chapter

5Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

6Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.

7One who is full loathes honey from the comb, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.

8Like a bird that flees its nest is anyone who flees from home.

9Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice.

10Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family, and do not go to your relative’s house when disaster strikes you— better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.
