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

And the sweetness of a man’s friend gives delight by [a]hearty counsel.

Nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;
(A)Better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
