Proverbs 27:9
Berean Standard Bible
Oil and incense bring joy to the heart, and the sweetness of a friend is counsel to the soul.
Context
7The soul that is full loathes honey,
but to a hungry soul, any bitter thing is sweet. 8Like a bird that strays from its nest
is a man who wanders from his home. 9Oil and incense bring joy to the heart,
and the sweetness of a friend is counsel to the soul. 10Do not forsake your friend or your father’s friend,
and do not go to your brother’s house
in the day of your calamity;
better a neighbor nearby
than a brother far away. 11Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart,
so that I can answer him who taunts me.
