Proverbs 27:10-12
New Century Version
Proverbs 27:10-12
New Century Version
10 Don’t forget your friend or your parent’s friend.
Don’t always go to your family for help when trouble comes.
A neighbor close by is better than a family far away.
11 Be wise, my child, and make me happy.
Then I can respond to any insult.
12 The wise see danger ahead and avoid it,
but fools keep going and get into trouble.
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)
