Proverbs 27:7-10

7A satisfied 1person 2despises honey, But to a hungry 3person any bitter thing is sweet.8Like a 4bird that wanders from its nest, So is a person who 5wanders from his 6home.97Oil and perfume make the heart glad, And a 8person’s advice is sweet to his friend.10Do not abandon your 9friend or 10your father’s friend, And do not go to your brother’s house on the day of your disaster; Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away.
