Proverbs 27:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷A soul that is full shall tread upon the honeycomb: and a soul that is hungry shall take even bitter for sweet.

⁸As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that leaveth his place.

⁹Ointment and perfumes rejoice the heart: and the good counsels of a friend are sweet to the soul.

Proverbs 27:7-9

New International Version

⁷One who is full loathes honey from the comb,
but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.

⁸Like a bird that flees its nest^(A)
is anyone who flees from home.

⁹Perfume^(B) and incense bring joy to the heart,
and the pleasantness of a friend
springs from their heartfelt advice.
