“Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.”
Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses—a statement that painful correction from a friend is authentic while false praise from an enemy is poisonous, establishing the value of honest friendship. The theological significance involves the principle of preferring honest enmity to false favor.
