Proverbs 27:10-12

Authorized (King James) Version

¹⁰ Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not;
neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity:
for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

¹¹ My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

¹² A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself;
but the simple pass on, and are punished.
