Proverbs 27:8-10

The Voice

⁸Like a bird that strays far from its nest,
so is a person who forsakes his own home.

⁹The heart is delighted by the fragrance of oil and sweet perfumes,
    and in just the same way, the soul is sweetened by the wise counsel of a friend.
¹⁰Do not neglect your friend or your parent’s friend for that matter.
    When hard times come, you don’t have to travel far to get help from family;
A neighbor who is near is better
    than a brother who is far away.
