Proverbs 27:8

8. Wandereth from her nest, etc. A caution against hasty, unnecessary changes in life, either in regard to country, home, occupation, or condition. “A rolling stone gathers no moss;” “two removes are equal to a fire,” are like proverbs among ourselves. Some understand it merely of leaving one’s home. “A man from home,” if he has a good one, is like a bird away from its nest, restless, unsatisfied.” Stuart. True and good, but probably not all that is intended. There is a tendency to dissatisfaction with our present positions, conditions, business, etc. We know their difficulties, cares, vexations, and are apt to imagine that we could be happier in some other place, condition, or business. Thus, some men are perpetually changing and moving; like Noah’s dove, finding no rest for the sole of their feet.
