Proverbs 27:9-11
New King James Version
9 Ointment and perfume delight the heart,
And the sweetness of a man’s friend gives delight by [a]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;
(A)Better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
(B)That I may answer him who reproaches me.
