Proverbs 27:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁸ Like a bird that strays from its nest
    is one who strays from home.
⁹ Perfume and incense make the heart glad,
    but the soul is torn by trouble.^[a]
10 Do not forsake your friend or the friend of your parent;
    do not go to the house of your kindred on the day of your calamity.
Better is a neighbour who is nearby
    than kindred who are far away.
