Proverbs 27:10-16

¹⁰Do not neglect your friends or your parents' friends; and at a time when you are experiencing a disaster, do not go to a relative who lives far away to request his help; someone who lives near you can help you more than relatives who live far away.

¹¹My child/son, cause me to be happy by becoming wise, in order that I will know how to reply to those who would criticize me about your behavior.

¹²Those who have good sense will realize that there is something dangerous ahead, and they will hide; those who do not have good sense just keep going, and later they will suffer because of doing that.

¹³You deserve to have your property taken from you if you foolishly promise to a stranger (OR, a strange woman) that you will pay what she owes if she is unable to pay it DOU.

¹⁴If you rise early in the morning and call out a greeting to your neighbor while he is still sleeping, he will consider it to be a curse, not a blessing.

¹⁵Having a wife that is constantly nagging is as bad as listening to rain continually dripping on a rainy day.

¹⁶Trying to restrain/stop her from doing that is as difficult SIM as trying to stop the wind or trying to hold oil in your hand.
