Proverbs 27:5
Berean Standard Bible
Better an open rebuke than love that is concealed.
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.
