⁹ He who forgives an offense seeks love,
    but he who repeats a matter alienates a friend.

⁶ Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
    profuse are the kisses of an enemy.

⁹ Oil and perfume make the heart glad,
    but the soul is torn by trouble.^[a]
10 Your friend, and your father’s friend, do not forsake;
    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 who is far away.
