5 Better is an open reprimand [of loving correction] Than love that is hidden. Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend [who corrects out of love and concern], But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful [because they serve his hidden agenda]. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.
