Proverbs 27:10

All About Life

⁹
Oil and perfume make the heart glad;
So does the sweetness of a friend’s counsel that comes from the heart.
¹⁰ 
Do not abandon your own friend and your father’s friend,
And do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster.
Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away.
¹¹
My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
That I may reply to him who reproaches (reprimands, criticizes) me.
