Proverbs 27:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ It is better to correct someone openly
    than to love him and not show it.

⁶ The slap of a friend can be trusted to help you.
    But the kisses of an enemy are nothing but lies.

⁷ When someone is full, not even honey tastes good.
    But when he is hungry, even something bitter tastes sweet.
