⁹ He who ^(A)conceals a transgression seeks love,
But he who repeats a matter ^(B)separates intimate friends.

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

^9 (A)Oil and perfume make the heart glad,
So a ^[a]man’s counsel is sweet to his friend.
¹⁰ Do not forsake your own ^(B)friend or ^(C)your father’s friend,
And do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;
Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away.
