8 As a bird that wanders from her nest,
so is a man who wanders from his home.
9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart;
so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.

Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster.
A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.

and do not go to your relative’s house when disaster(C) strikes you—
better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.
