5 (A)Open rebuke is better
Than love carefully concealed.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
But the kisses of an enemy are (B)deceitful.
Proverbs 27:5-6

Proverbs 27:9-10
New King James Version
9 Ointment and perfume delight the heart,
And the sweetness of a man’s friend gives delight by [a]hearty counsel.
10 Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend,
Nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;
(A)Better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
