Proverbs 27:10-12

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁰ Don’t abandon a friend
    who is also a friend of your father.

Don’t enter your brother’s house on the day of your calamity —
    better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.

¹¹ My son, become wise, and gladden my heart,
    so that I can answer my critics.

¹² The clever see trouble coming and hide;
    the thoughtless go on and pay the penalty.
