Proverbs 27:7-12

Home and family.
v.7 Hungry mouth. Those who are fully satisfied refuse honey (that which is sweet and healthy), but to the hungry mouth even bitter (that which is painful or displeasing) things are sweet. “The person who does not find his spiritual craving satisfied in true religion will go after any grievous idolatry and, being sated by it, will despise true religion” (Waltke).
v.8 Strays from home. A person who strays from home is like a bird that strays from the nest. He will find trouble before he finds what he is looking for. Perhaps to be understood as he who wonders from his home leaving it unprotected.
v.9 Earnest counsel. Oil and perfume are sweet and make the heart glad, in the same way the earnest counsel of a friend is sweet and gives delight (see also v.6).
v.10 Far away. Prefer a nearby neighbor to a far away, physically or emotionally(?), relative in your time of need or calamity. Likewise, do not fail your friend in his time of need. Compare 17:17. Don't burn your bridges with your friends or your parents friends.
v.11 Teacher. A teacher is often evaluated by the results in his or her students. Here Solomon tells his son to make his heart glad (live wisely) so he can answer his critics.
v.12 The prudent. The prudent (shrewd) man sees danger ahead and takes it into account, the simple (naive) continues on and suffers for it.
