Proverbs
Chapters 27:3-9
New International Version Anglicized
3Stone is heavy and sand a burden,but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
4Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming,but who can stand before jealousy?
5Better is open rebukethan hidden love.
6Wounds from a friend can be trusted,but an enemy multiplies kisses.
7One who is full loathes honey from the comb,but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.
8Like a bird that flees its nestis anyone who flees from home.
9Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart,and the pleasantness of a friendsprings from their heartfelt advice.
