Proverbs 27:9-11

21st Century King James Version

⁹ Ointment and perfume make the heart rejoice; so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by counsel from the heart.

¹⁰ Thine own friend and thy father’s friend, forsake not; neither go to thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity; for 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.
