Proverbios 27:9-12

9 El perfume y el incienso alegran el corazón;la dulzura de la amistad fortalece el ánimo.^[a]

10 No abandones a tu amigo ni al amigo de tu padre.No vayas a la casa de tu hermano cuando tengas un problema.Más vale vecino cercano que hermano distante.

11 Hijo mío, sé sabio y alegra mi corazón;así podré responder a los que me desprecian.

12 El prudente ve el peligro y lo evita;el inexperto sigue adelante y sufre las consecuencias.
