15:17\u00a0Better a small serving of vegetables with love
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0than a fattened calf with hatred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
27:9\u00a0Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and the pleasantness of a friend
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0springs from their heartfelt advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
20:6\u00a0Many claim to have unfailing love,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but a faithful person who can find?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
12:26 The righteous choose their friends carefully,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but the way of the wicked leads them astray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
13:20 Walk with the wise and become wise,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0for a companion of fools suffers harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
16:29\u00a0A violent person entices their neighbor
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and leads them down a path that is not good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
22:24-25\u00a0
24\u00a0Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0do not associate with one easily angered,
25\u00a0or you may learn their ways
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and get yourself ensnared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
27:17\u00a0As iron sharpens iron,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0so one person sharpens another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
18:24\u00a0One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
17:17\u00a0A friend loves at all times,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and a brother is born for a time of adversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
18:24\u00a0One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
20:6\u00a0Many claim to have unfailing love,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but a faithful person who can find?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
25:19\u00a0Like a broken tooth or a lame foot
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0is reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14:20\u00a0The poor are shunned even by their neighbors,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but the rich have many friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
19:4\u00a0Wealth attracts many friends,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
19:6\u00a0Many curry favor with a ruler,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
19:7\u00a0The poor are shunned by all their relatives\u2014
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0how much more do their friends avoid them!
Though the poor pursue them with pleading,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0they are nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
28:23 Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor<\/p>\n\n\n\n
rather than one who has a flattering tongue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
29:5\u00a0Those who flatter their neighbors
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0are spreading nets for their feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
27:5\u00a0Better is open rebuke
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0than hidden love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
27:6\u00a0Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but an enemy multiplies kisses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10:12 Hatred stirs up conflict,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but love covers over all wrongs.
11:6 A kindhearted woman gains honor,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but ruthless men gain only wealth.
11:7 Those who are kind benefit themselves,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but the cruel bring ruin on themselves.
12:25 Anxiety weighs down the heart,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but a kind word cheers it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14:21\u00a0It is a sin to despise one\u2019s neighbor,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but blessed is the one who is kind to the needy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
17:9\u00a0Whoever would foster love covers over an offense,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
17:17 A friend loves at all times,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and a brother is born for a time of adversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
19:22 What a person desires is unfailing love;
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0better to be poor than a liar.
20:6 Many claim to have unfailing love,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0but a faithful person who can find?
21:10\u00a0The wicked crave evil;
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0their neighbors get no mercy from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
22:11\u00a0One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0will have the king for a friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
27:10\u00a0Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and do not go to your relative\u2019s house when disaster strikes you\u2014
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3:27-28 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, \u201ccome back tomorrow and I\u2019ll give it to you\u201d – when you already have it with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
25:16 If you find honey, eat just enough\u2014
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0too much of it, and you will vomit.
25:17\u00a0Seldom set foot in your neighbor\u2019s house\u2014
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0too much of you, and they will hate you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
27:14\u00a0If anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0it will be taken as a curse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
25:20\u00a0Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0or like vinegar poured on a wound,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14:10\u00a0Each heart knows its own bitterness,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and no one else can share its joy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
