Proverbs 27:5 in context

1. 3A stone is heavy,
   and sand is a burden;
   but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
2. 4Wrath is cruel,
   and anger is overwhelming;
   but who is able to stand before jealousy?
3. 5Better is open rebuke
   than hidden love.
4. 6The wounds of a friend are faithful,
   although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
5. 7A full soul loathes a honeycomb;
   but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.
