| Do not forsake your friend and your father's friend, and do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity. Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away. | Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off. |
| The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it. | A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished. |
| Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. | Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. |
| As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man. | As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. |
Bible verse of the day
God settles the solitary in a home;he leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
