⁹ Whoever wants to show love forgives a wrong.
    But those who talk about it separate close friends.

⁶ Wounds from a friend can be trusted.
    But an enemy kisses you many times.

⁹ Perfume and incense bring joy to your heart.
    And the sweetness of a friend comes from their honest advice.

¹⁰ Don’t desert your friend or a friend of your family.
    And don’t go to your relative’s house when trouble strikes you.
    A neighbor nearby is better than a relative far away.
