Proverbs 27:5
“Better an open rebuke than love that is concealed.”
In context
3A stone is heavy and sand is a burden, but aggravation from a fool outweighs them both.
4Wrath is cruel and anger is like a flood, but who can withstand jealousy?
5Better an open rebuke than love that is concealed.
6The wounds of a friend are faithful, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7The soul that is full loathes honey, but to a hungry soul, any bitter thing is sweet.
