Proverbs 27:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ When a friend is not afraid to warn you that you are wrong,
    it shows that he really loves you.
⁶ You can trust a friend when he says things that hurt you.
    But when an enemy kisses you, he is deceiving you.
⁷ A person who has eaten enough food will refuse honey.
    But even bitter food seems sweet to a hungry person.
