5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.

Proverbs 27:5 In-Context

3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.

4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.

6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend ; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful .

7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
