Proverbs 27:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ A person who leaves his home
    is like a bird that leaves its nest.

⁹ The sweet smell of perfume and oils is pleasant,
    and so is good advice from a friend.

¹⁰ Don’t forget your friend or your parent’s friend.
    Don’t always go to your family for help when trouble comes.
    A neighbor close by is better than a family far away.
