Proverbs 27:5

In context

3A stone is heavy and sand is a weight, but provocation from the senseless is heavier than both. 4Rage is cruel and anger a flood, but who can stand before jealousy? 5Better an open reproof than love kept hidden. 6The wounds of a friend are faithful, but the kisses of an enemy are lavish. 7A full appetite tramples honeycomb, but to a hungry appetite every bitter thing is sweet.
