Proverbs 27:9-11
Evangelical Heritage Version
9 Olive oil and incense bring joy to a heart,
and the sweetness of a friend comes from his sincere advice.[a]
10 Do not abandon your friend or your father’s friend,
and do not go to your brother’s house when disaster strikes you.
A neighbor who is near is better than a brother who is far away.
11 Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart,
so that I may answer anyone who taunts me.
