SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:8

¶ Como el ave se va de su nido, así es el hombre que se va de su lugar.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 27:8

Verse 8. Is a
bird that wandereth from her nest ] Leaving her own brood, places of retreat, and feeding-ground behind, and going into strange countries, where she is exposed to every kind of danger. So is the man who leaves his family connections and country, and goes into strange parts to find employment, better his circumstances, make a fortune, &c. I have seen multitudes of such wanderers from their place come to great misery and wretchedness. God's general advice is, "Do good, and dwell in the land; and verily thou shalt be fed."

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 8. As a
bird that wandereth from her nest , etc.] To seek for food for herself and her young; or that leaves it without returning to it, and so her eggs or her young are exposed, and she herself liable to fall into the hands of birds of prey, or of the fowler, when she would be safe in her nest; as there was a law in Israel in her favour, ( Deuteronomy 22:6); or as one that is forced out and obliged to wander from place to place, ( Isaiah 16:2); so [is] a man that wandereth from his place ; who, in time of famine and distress, goes into other parts for bread, as Jacob’s sons went down into Egypt; and such are they in a spiritual sense who leave all, and follow Christ for food for their souls; or who are forced to flee from place to place, and wander about in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth, because of the persecution of their enemies; or rather it is to be taken in an ill sense and applied to such who abide not in the calling whereunto they are called; dislike, and are unsatisfied with, their present business of life, and seek new employments, which oftentimes is to the hurt and detriment of themselves and families; and also to such who wander from the way of spiritual understanding, from the place of divine worship, from the word, ordinances, and commandments of the Lord; (see Proverbs 21:16).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 8 - Every man has his proper place in society, where he may be
safe an comfortable.
