Proverbs 27:7-10

7The one whose appetite is satisfied loathes honey, but to the hungry mouth every bitter thing is sweet.

8Like a bird that wanders from its nest, so is a person who wanders from his home.

9Ointment and incense make the heart rejoice, likewise the sweetness of one’s friend from sincere counsel.

10Do not forsake your friend and your father’s friend, and do not enter your brother’s house in the day of your disaster; a neighbor nearby is better than a brother far away.
