Proverbs 27:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ Beautiful oil and perfume may give you joy.
    But good advice from a friend is even better.
¹⁰ Do not forget your friends or your father's friends.
If you are in trouble, do not ask your relatives to help you.
    A friend who is a neighbour will be more help than a relative who lives far away.
