Mishle 27:8-10
Orthodox Jewish Bible
8 As a tzippor that wandereth from her ken (nest), so is an ish that wandereth from his makom (place, home).
9 Shemen and ketoret rejoice the lev; so doth the sweet discourse of a re’a (friend) from an atzat nefesh (a counselling of the soul).
10 Thine own re’a (friend), and the re’a avicha, forsake not; neither go into thy brother’s bais in the yom of thy calamity; for better is a shakhen (neighbor) that is near than a brother far off.
