⁹ One who ^(A)conceals an offense seeks love,
But one who repeats a matter ^(B)separates close 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,
And a ^[a]person’s advice is sweet to his friend.
¹⁰ Do not abandon your ^(B)friend or ^(C)your father’s friend,
And do not go to your brother’s house on the day of your disaster;
Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away.
