Proverbs 27:9-11

Legacy Standard Bible

⁹^(A)Oil and incense make the heart glad,
So counsel from the ^[a]soul is sweet to his friend.
¹⁰Do not forsake your ^(B)friend or ^(C)your father’s friend,
And do not come to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster;
Better is one who dwells near than a brother far away.
¹¹^(D)Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad,
That I may ^(E)respond with a word to him who reproaches me.
