In context

7A full soul scorns honeycombs; But to a hungry soul even bitter things appear sweet.

8As when a bird flies down from its own nest, So a man is brought into bondage whenever he estranges himself from his own place.

— Proverbs 27:9 —

10Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; And when thou art in distress go not into thy brother’s house: Better is a friend that is near than a brother living far off.

11Son, be wise, that thy heart may rejoice; And remove thou from thyself reproachful words.
