Proverbs 27:8-12

Proverbs 27:8-12 MSG

People who won’t settle down, wandering hither and yon, are like restless birds, flitting to and fro. Just as lotions and fragrance give sensual delight, a sweet friendship refreshes the soul. Don’t leave your friends or your parents’ friends and run home to your family when things get rough; Better a nearby friend than a distant family. Become wise, dear child, and make me happy; then nothing the world throws my way will upset me. A prudent person sees trouble coming and ducks; a simpleton walks in blindly and is clobbered.
