Proverbs 17:9

9 He who covers an offense promotes love;
but he who repeats a matter separates best friends.
Proverbs 17:9

9 Love prospers when a fault is forgiven,
but dwelling on it separates close friends.
Proverbs 27:6
World English Bible
6 The wounds of a friend are faithful,
although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
Proverbs 27:6
New Living Translation
6 Wounds from a sincere friend
are better than many kisses from an enemy.
Proverbs 27:9-10
World English Bible
9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart;
so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.
10 Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend.
Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster.
A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.
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.
