⁹ He that covereth a transgression seeketh love;
But he that harpeth on a matter separateth chief friends.

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

⁹ Oil and perfume rejoice the heart;
So doth the sweetness of a man’s friend that cometh of hearty counsel.
¹⁰ Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not;
And go not to thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity:
Better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off.
