Proverbs 27:6-9

Revised Standard Version

⁶ Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
    profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
⁷ He who is sated loathes honey,
    but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet.
⁸ Like a bird that strays from its nest,
    is a man who strays from his home.
⁹ Oil and perfume make the heart glad,
    but the soul is torn by trouble.^[a]
