9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart;
so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.

A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.

so does the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.

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.
