Provérbios 27:6 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 27:6

Faithful [are] the wounds of a friend
That is, friendly reproofs; which, though they may be severe, at least thought so, and may grieve and wound, and cause pain and uneasiness for the present, yet, proceeding from a spirit of love, faithfulness, and integrity, and designed for the good of the person reproved, ought to be kindly received; see ( Psalms 141:5 ) ;

but the kisses of an enemy [are] deceitful;
flow from a deceitful heart, and not to be confided in, as the kisses of Joab and Judas. It may be rather rendered, "are to be deprecated" F25; prayed against, as real evils, hurtful and pernicious; and so the Targum renders it, "are evil". Good is the advice of Isocrates F26,

``reckon them faithful, not who praise everything thou sayest or doest, but those that reprove what is amiss.''

Provérbios 27:6 In-Context

4 O rancor é cruel e a fúria é destruidora,mas quem consegue suportar a inveja?
5 Melhor é a repreensão feita abertamentedo que o amor oculto.
6 Quem fere por amor mostra lealdade,mas o inimigo multiplica beijos.
7 Quem está satisfeito despreza o mel,mas para quem tem fome até o amargo é doce.
8 Como a ave que vagueia longe do ninho,assim é o homem que vagueia longe do lar.
