9 Ointment and perfume delight the heart, And the sweetness of a man's friend gives delight by hearty counsel.
9 The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.
9 Just as lotions and fragrance give sensual delight, a sweet friendship refreshes the soul.
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart, And the sweetness of one's friend—from counsel of the soul.
