Proverbs 27:6-10

World English Bible

⁶ The wounds of a friend are faithful,
    although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
⁷ A full soul loathes a honeycomb;
    but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.
⁸ As a bird that wanders from her nest,
    so is a man who wanders from his home.
⁹ Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart;
    so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.
¹⁰ 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.
