Proverbs 27:7 Context
5Open rebuke is better then secret loue. 6Faithfull are the woundes of a friend: but the kisses of an enemy are deceitfull. 7The full soule loatheth an honie combe: but to the hungry soule euery bitter thing is sweete. 8As a bird that wandreth from her nest: so is a man that wandreth from his place. 9Oyntment and perfume reioyce the heart: so doeth the sweetnesse of a mans friend by heartie counsell.
