Proverbs 27:10-12

21st Century King James Version

¹⁰ Thine own friend and thy father’s friend, forsake not; neither go to thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity; for better is a neighbor 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.
