Proverbs 27:6-8
Amplified Bible
6
Faithful are the wounds of a friend [who corrects out of love and concern],
But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful [because they serve his hidden agenda].
7
He who is satisfied loathes honey,
But to the hungry soul any bitter thing is sweet.
8
Like a bird that wanders from her nest [with its comfort and safety],
So is a man who wanders from his home.
Proverbs 27:6-8
New International Version
6 Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
but an enemy multiplies kisses.(A)
7 One who is full loathes honey from the comb,
but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.
8 Like a bird that flees its nest(B)
is anyone who flees from home.
