Proverbs 27:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ One whose appetite is sated refuses honey,
    but to the man who is hungry even bitter food tastes sweet.
⁸ Like a bird that strays from its nest
    is anyone who is far away from home.
⁹ Perfume and incense gladden the heart,
    and friendship’s sweetness comforts the soul.^[a]
