Proverbs 27:4-10 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

4. Anger is cruel, and wrath overwhelming,but before jealousy who can stand?

5. Better is an open rebukethan a love that remains hidden.

6. Trustworthy are the blows of a friend,dangerous, the kisses of an enemy.

7. One who is full spurns honey;but to the hungry, any bitter thing is sweet.

8. Like a bird far from the nestso is anyone far from home.

9. Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart,but by grief the soul is torn asunder.

10. Do not give up your own friend and your father’s friend;do not resort to the house of your kindred when trouble strikes.Better a neighbor near than kin far away.
