Proverbs 27:4-9 English Revised Version (ERV)

4. Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; 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 an 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. Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend that cometh of hearty counsel.
