Proverbs 27:10-12

Darby Translation

¹⁰ Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; and go not into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

¹¹ Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, that I may have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me.

¹² A prudent [man] seeth the evil, [and] hideth himself; the simple pass on, [and] are punished.
