Proverbs 27:9

⁷The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.A full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.

⁸As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.

⁹Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.

¹⁰Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend. Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster. A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.

¹¹My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.
