⁶ Faithful are the ^(A)wounds of a friend,
But ^[a]deceitful are the ^(B)kisses of an enemy.

^9 (A)Oil and incense make the heart glad,
So counsel from the ^[a]soul is sweet to his friend.

¹⁰ Do not forsake your ^(A)friend or ^(B)your father’s friend,
And do not come to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster;
Better is one who dwells near than a brother far away.
