English Standard Version
10 Do not forsake your friend and (A)your father's friend,
and do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity.

than a brother who is far away.
11 (C)Be wise, (D)my son, and (E)make my heart glad,
that I may (F)answer him who reproaches me.
12 (G)The prudent sees danger and hides himself,
but (H)the simple go on and suffer for it.

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)
