Proverbs 27:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 A satisfied [a]person [b]despises honey,
But to a hungry [c]person any bitter thing is sweet.
8 Like a (A)bird that wanders from its nest,
So is a person who (B)wanders from his [d]home.
9 (C)Oil and perfume make the heart glad,
And a [e]person’s advice is sweet to his friend.

Proverbs 27:7-9
New Living Translation
7 A person who is full refuses honey,
but even bitter food tastes sweet to the hungry.
8 A person who strays from home
is like a bird that strays from its nest.
9 The heartfelt counsel of a friend
is as sweet as perfume and incense.
