Proverbs 27:10-12
New Life Version
10 Do not leave your own friend or your father’s friend alone, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your trouble. A neighbor who is near is better than a brother who is far away.
11 Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, so I may answer him who puts me to shame.
12 A wise man sees sin and hides himself, but the fool goes on and suffers for it.

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)
