Proverbs 27:7-12

⁷A man ful filled shall despise an honeycomb; but an hungry man shall take, yea, bitter thing for sweet.

⁸As a bird passing over from his nest, so is a man that forsaketh his place.

⁹The heart delighteth in ointment, and diverse odours; and a soul is made sweet by the good counsels of a friend.

¹⁰Forsake thou not thy friend, and the friend of thy father; and enter thou not into the house of thy brother, in the day of thy torment. Better is a neighbour nigh, than a brother afar.

¹¹My son, study thou about wisdom, and make thou glad mine heart; that thou mayest answer a word to a despiser.

¹²A fell man seeing evil was hid; little men of wit passing forth suffered harms.
