Proverbs 27:7-9
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
7 The sated appetite spurns honey,
but to a ravenous appetite even the bitter is sweet.
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]
Footnotes
- Proverbs 27:9 Gk: Heb the sweetness of a friend is better than one’s own counsel
