The wounds of a friend are faithful, but the kisses of an enemy are lavish.
In context
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. 8Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who strays from his place.
