Proverbs 27:6 In-Context

4 Anger is cruel, and fury is overwhelming, but who can survive jealousy?
5 Open criticism is better than unexpressed love.
6 Wounds made by a friend are intended to help, but an enemy's kisses are too much to bear.
7 One who is full despises honey, but to one who is hungry, even bitter food tastes sweet.
8 Like a bird wandering from its nest, so is a husband wandering from his home.
