Faithful are the wounds they proceed from an upright, and truly loving, and faithful soul, and really promote the good of the person reproved. The wounds ; the sharpest reproofs, which for the present wound his spirit and reputation.

The kisses all the fair speeches and outward professions of friendship.

Are deceitful or, are to be deprecated ; are perfidious and pernicious, and such things as one may pray to God to be delivered from them. Or, are forced , like things which are procured with great difficulty, and many entreaties.

Haydock: Pro 27:6 - -- Enemy. Joab slew Amasa, while he kissed him, 2 Kings xx. 9., and Matthew xxvi. 48. True friendship is not attentive to outward appearances.

Enemy. Joab slew Amasa, while he kissed him, 2 Kings xx. 9., and Matthew xxvi. 48. True friendship is not attentive to outward appearances.

Gill: Pro 27:6 - -- Faithful are the wounds of a friend,.... That is, friendly reproofs; which, though they may be severe, at least thought so, and may grieve and wound,...

Faithful are the wounds of a friend,.... That is, friendly reproofs; which, though they may be severe, at least thought so, and may grieve and wound, and cause pain and uneasiness for the present, yet, proceeding from a spirit of love, faithfulness, and integrity, and designed for the good of the person reproved, ought to be kindly received; see Psa 141:5;

but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful; flow from a deceitful heart, and not to be confided in, as the kisses of Joab and Judas. It may be rather rendered, "are to be deprecated" y; prayed against, as real evils, hurtful and pernicious; and so the Targum renders it, "are evil". Good is the advice of Isocrates z,

"reckon them faithful, not who praise everything thou sayest or doest, but those that reprove what is amiss.''
