Proverbs 27:7-9
English Standard Version

7 One who is full loathes (A)honey,
    but to one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet.
8 Like (B)a bird that strays from its nest
    is a man who strays from his home.
9 (C)Oil and perfume make the heart glad,
    and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.[a]
