Tree Of Life Version

Proverbs 27:5-10 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

5. Better is open rebuke than hidden love.

6. Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but excessive the kisses of an enemy.

7. One who is full loathes honeycomb, but to one who is hungry every bitter thing is sweet.

8. Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man that wanders from his home.

9. As ointment and perfume gladden the heart, so the sweetness of one’s friend comes from his sincere counsel.

10. Do not forsake your friend, or your father’s friend, nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster— better a neighbor nearby than a brother far off.
