Proverbs27:8
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest , so is a man that wandereth from his place .
That flies very much abroad from place to place, whereby she is exposed to all the arts of Fowlers, and to Birds of Prey, from which she is safe whilest she keeps her nest.
That through vanity or lightness changeth the place of his abode, or, his Calling and course of Life, the ill effects whereof have been frequently observed and noted, even in vulgar Proverbs, as when we say, A rolling Stone gathers no Moss.
