Proverbs 27:5-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 27
5Better is open rebuke Than love that is concealed. 6Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy. 7A satisfied person despises honey, But to a hungry person any bitter thing is sweet. 8Like a bird that wanders from its nest, So is a person who wanders from his home. 9Oil and perfume make the heart glad, And a person’s advice is sweet to his friend.King James Version

Chapter 27
5Better is open rebuke than hidden love. 6Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy. 7One who is full loathes honey, but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet. 8Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who strays from his home. 9Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.New International Version
