Proverbs 27:9-11

American Standard Version

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.
¹¹ My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
That I may answer him that reproacheth me.
