7A full soul scorns honeycombs; but to a hungry soul even bitter things appear sweet.
8As when a bird flies down from its own nest, so a man is brought into bondage whenever he estranges himself from his own place.
9The heart delights in ointments and wines and perfumes: but the soul is broken by calamities.
10Your own friend, and your father's friend, forsake not; and when you are in distress go not into your brother's house: better is a friend that is near than a brother living far off.
