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.
Proverbs 27:10-12
New International Version
Proverbs 27:10-12
New International Version
10 Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family,
and do not go to your relative’s house when disaster(A) strikes you—
better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.
11 Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart;(B)
then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.(C)
12 The prudent see danger and take refuge,
but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.(D)
