“Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart;so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.”
Proverbs 27:9 (WEB)
Context Reading
7A full soul loathes a honeycomb;but to a hungry soul, every bitter thing is sweet. 8As a bird that wanders from her nest,so is a man who wanders from his home. 9Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart;so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend. 10Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend.Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster.A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother. 11Be wise, my son,and bring joy to my heart,then I can answer my tormentor.
