Proverbs 27:6
New Living Translation
6 Wounds from a sincere friend
are better than many kisses from an enemy.
Proverbs 27:9-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
9 Oil(A) and incense bring joy to the heart,
and the sweetness of a friend is better than self-counsel.[a]
10 Don’t abandon your friend or your father’s friend,(B)
and don’t go to your brother’s house
in your time of calamity;
better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.(C)

- Proverbs 27:9 LXX reads heart, but the soul is torn up by affliction
Proverbs 27:9-10
New Living Translation
9 The heartfelt counsel of a friend
is as sweet as perfume and incense.
10 Never abandon a friend—
either yours or your father’s.
When disaster strikes, you won’t have to ask your brother for assistance.
It’s better to go to a neighbor than to a brother who lives far away.
