Proverbs 27:9-11

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁹ ¶ Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart, so does the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.

¹⁰ Do not forsake thine own friend and thy father’s friend, neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity, for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

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