Proverbs 27:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶Friends mean well, even when they hurt you. But when an enemy puts his arm around your shoulder—watch out!

⁷When you are full, you will refuse honey, but when you are hungry, even bitter food tastes sweet.

⁸Anyone away from home is like a bird away from its nest.

Proverbs 27:6-8

New International Version

⁶Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
but an enemy multiplies kisses.^(A)

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^(B)
is anyone who flees from home.
