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 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice.
9 Just as lotions and fragrance give sensual delight, a sweet friendship refreshes the soul.
