Proverbs 27:8 in Context — Proverbs 27

6 Fiéis são as feridas [feitas] por um amigo, mas os beijos de um inimigo são enganosos.

7 A alma saciada rejeita o favo de mel; mas para a alma faminta, toda coisa amarga é doce.

8 Como a ave, que vagueia de seu ninho, assim é o homem que anda vagueando de seu lugar.

9 O óleo e o perfume alegram ao coração; assim é a doçura de um amigo com um conselho sincero.

10 Não abandones o teu amigo, nem o amigo de teu pai; nem entres na casa de teu irmão no dia de tua adversidade; melhor é o vizinho que está perto do que o irmão que está longe.
