Proverbs 27

9 Ointment and perfume delight the heart,

And the sweetness of a man’s friend givesdelight by hearty counsel.

10 Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend,

Nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;

*Prov. 17:17; 18:24Better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
