In context

Before · Proverbs 27:7–8

7A full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet. 8As a bird that wanders from her nest, so is a man who wanders from his home.

9Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.

After · Proverbs 27:10–11

10Don’t forsake your friend and your father’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. 11Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.
