Proverbs 27:9–10

9 	Oil and perfume make the heart glad,
		and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.1
10 	fDo not forsake your friend and your father’s friend,
		and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity.
	Better is a neighbor who is near
		than a brother who is far away.
