Proverbs 27:8
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who wanders from his home.
In context
6 The wounds of a friend are faithful, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7 The soul that is full loathes honey, but to a hungry soul, any bitter thing is sweet.
8 Like a bird that strays from its nest is a man who wanders from his home.
9 Oil and incense bring joy to the heart, and the sweetness of a friend is counsel to the soul.
10 Do not forsake your friend or your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity; better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
