Appetite, Counsel, Friendship, and a Wise Son
Appetite changes how food is perceived, and wandering from one’s place creates vulnerability. The wisdom of trusted friendship is compared with perfume, and a wise child gives a parent an answer against reproach, showing again how personal wisdom spills into family honor.
Proverbs values the sweetness of a friend’s counsel and warns against forsaking faithful friendship; Jesus speaks of costly love and calls his disciples friends who know what he is doing.
