| 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. | Never abandon a friend— either yours or your father’s. When disaster strikes, you won’t have to ask your brother for assistance. It’s better to go to a neighbor than to a brother who lives far away. |
| The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it. | A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. |
| Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. | As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. |
| As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man. | As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the real person. |
