Good News Bible

Proverbs 27:6-10 Good News Bible (GNB)

6. Friends mean well, even when they hurt you. But when an enemy puts an arm round your shoulder — watch out!

7. When you are full, you will refuse honey, but when you are hungry, even bitter food tastes sweet.

8. Anyone away from home is like a bird away from its nest.

9. Perfume and fragrant oils make you feel happier, but trouble shatters your peace of mind.

10. Do not forget your friends or your father's friends. If you are in trouble, don't ask a relative for help; a neighbour near by can help you more than relatives who are far away.
