Proverbs 27:5-6

5 Better an open rebuke than love that is concealed.

6 The wounds of a friend are faithful, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

Proverbs 27:9-10

9 Oil and incense bring joy to the heart, and the counsel of a friend is sweetness to the soul.

10 Do not forsake your friend or your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity; better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.

Proverbs 27:14

14 If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted to him as a curse.

Proverbs 27:17

17 As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
