Proverbs 27:7-9
Christian Standard Bible

7 A person who is full tramples on a honeycomb,(A)
but to a hungry person, any bitter thing is sweet.

8 Anyone wandering from his home
is like a bird wandering from its nest.(B)

9 Oil(C) and incense bring joy to the heart,
and the sweetness of a friend is better than self-counsel.[a]
