Proverbs 27:9-11

Darby Translation

⁹ Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart; and the sweetness of one's friend is [the fruit] of hearty counsel.

¹⁰ Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; and go not into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

¹¹ Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, that I may have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me.
