Proverbs 27:7-15
-
7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
-
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
-
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
-
10 Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
-
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
-
12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
-
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
-
14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
-
15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
