Proverbs 27:8-10
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
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]
10 Do not forsake your friend or the friend of your parent;
do not go to the house of your kindred in the day of your calamity.
Better is a neighbor who is nearby
than kindred who are far away.
Footnotes
- Proverbs 27:9 Gk: Heb the sweetness of a friend is better than one’s own counsel
