Proverbs 27:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ A man who leaves his home
    is like a bird that leaves its nest.

⁹ Perfume and oils make you happy.
    And good advice from a friend is sweet.

¹⁰ Don’t forget your friend or your father’s friend.
    Don’t always go to your brother for help when trouble comes.
    A neighbor close by is better than a brother far away.
