Proverbs 27:8
As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
KJV
Sicut avis transmigrans de nido suo, sic vir qui derelinquit locum suum.
Vulgate
ὥσπερ ὅταν ὄρνεον καταπετασθῇ ἐκ τῆς ἰδίας νοσσιᾶς, οὕτως ἄνθρωπος δουλοῦται ὅταν ἀποξενωθῇ ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων τόπων.
LXX
As a bird that wandereth from her nest, So is a man that wandereth from his place.
