Contentment and the Value of True Friendship
7
The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; But to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8
As a bird that wandereth from her nest, So is a man that wandereth from his place.
9
Oil and perfume rejoice the heart; So doth the sweetness of a man’s friend that cometh of hearty counsel.
10
Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; And go not to thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: Better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off.
