Proverbs
Chapters 27:3-9
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
3A stone is heavy, and sand is hard to carry, but the irritation caused by a fool is much harder to bear.
4Anger is cruel and can destroy like a flood, but jealousy is much worse.
5Open criticism is better than hidden love.
6You can trust what your friend says, even when it hurts. But your enemies want to hurt you, even when they act nice.
7When you are full, you will not even eat honey. When you are hungry, even something bitter tastes sweet.
8A man away from home is like a bird away from its nest.
9Perfume and incense make you feel good, and so does good advice from a friend.
