Proverbs 27:6

Compare all

4 Wrath is cruel and anger a torrent,
But ^awho is able to stand before jealousy?

5 ^aOpen rebuke is better
Than love carefully concealed.

6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
But the kisses of an enemy are ^adeceitful.

7 A satisfied soul¹ loathes the honeycomb,
But to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

8 Like a bird that wanders from its nest
Is a man who wanders from his place.
