Proverbs 27:8-10

New Life Version

⁸ Like a bird that goes away from her nest, so is a man who goes away from his home.

⁹ Oil and perfume make the heart glad, so are a man’s words sweet to his friend.

¹⁰ Do not leave your own friend or your father’s friend alone, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your trouble. A neighbor who is near is better than a brother who is far away.
