⁹ He who covers a transgression seeks love,
    but he who repeats a matter separates friends.

⁶ Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
    but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

⁹ Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart,
    so does the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.

¹⁰ Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend,
    nor go into your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;
    for better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far off.
