Proverbs 27:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

7 The sated appetite spurns honey,
    but to a ravenous appetite even the bitter is sweet.(A)
8 Like a bird that strays from its nest
    is one who strays from home.
9 Perfume and incense make the heart glad,
    but the soul is torn by trouble.[a]
