9 Shemen and ketoret rejoice the lev;
so doth the sweet discourse of a re’a (friend) from an atzat nefesh (a counselling of the soul).
10 Thine own re’a (friend),
and the re’a avicha, forsake not;
neither go into thy brotherʼs bais in the yom of thy calamity;
for better is a shakhen (neighbor) that is near than a brother far off.
