Proverbs 27:4-9 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.
