10Thy own friend, and thy father's friend, thou must not forsake; but into thy brother's house enter not on the day of thy calamity: better is a near neighbor than a distant brother.
11Become wise, my son, and cause my heart to rejoice, that I may give an answer to him that reproacheth me.
12The prudent foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
