New Testament

Proverbs 27:4-10 American Standard Version (ASV)

4. Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; But who is able to stand before jealousy?

5. Better is open rebuke Than love that is hidden.

6. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; But the kisses of an enemy are profuse.

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

8. As a bird that wandereth from her nest, So is a man that wandereth from his place.

9. Oil and perfume rejoice the heart; So doth the sweetness of a man’s friend that cometh of hearty counsel.

10. Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; And go not to thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: Better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off.
