As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 27 of Proverbs. One should not boast about tomorrow because life is not under human control. Praise should come from others rather than from one’s own mouth, and frank rebuke can be more valuable than superficial affection. True friendship can include wounds intended for good. The passage also values the presence of a nearby neighbor over a distant brother in a concrete situation of need.

Wie ein Vogel, der aus seinem Nest weicht, also ist, wer von seiner Stätte weicht.
Cual ave que se va de su nido, Tal es el hombre que se va de su lugar.
Comme l'oiseau qui erre loin de son nid, Ainsi est l'homme qui erre loin de son lieu.
Quale è l’uccelletto, che va ramingo fuor del suo nido, Tale è l’uomo che va vagando fuor del suo luogo
Qual a ave que vagueia longe do seu ninho, tal é o homem que anda vagueando longe da sua morada.
人離故鄉漂泊, 就像雀鳥離窩四處飛翔。
