Proverbs 27:5-6, 9, 17

Proverbs 27:5-6 AMP

Better is an open reprimand [of loving correction] Than love that is hidden. [Prov 28:23; Gal 2:14] Faithful are the wounds of a friend [who corrects out of love and concern], But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful [because they serve his hidden agenda].

Oil and perfume make the heart glad; So does the sweetness of a friend’s counsel that comes from the heart.

As iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens [and influences] another [through discussion].
