Proverbs 27:6-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁶The wounds of a friend are trustworthy,^(A)
but the kisses of an enemy are excessive.^(B)

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

⁸A man wandering from his home
is like a bird wandering from its nest.^(D)

Proverbs 27:6-8

⁶Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
but an enemy multiplies kisses.^(A)

but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.

is anyone who flees from home.
