Proverbs 27:8-10

Lexham English Bible

⁸Like a bird that strays from its nest,
    so is a man who strays from his place.
⁹Perfume and incense will gladden a heart,
    and the pleasantness of one’s friend is personal advice.^[a]
¹⁰As for your friend and a friend of your father, do not forsake them,
    and the house of your brother, do not enter on the day of your calamity.
    Better is a close neighbor than a distant brother.
