Proverbs 27:8 in context

    although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
  2. 7A full soul loathes a honeycomb;
    but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet.
  3. 8As a bird that wanders from her nest,
    so is a man who wanders from his home.
  4. 9Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart;
    so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.

    Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster.
    A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.
