- 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. - The prudent sees danger and hides himself,
but the simple go on and suffer for it. - Iron sharpens iron,
and one man sharpens another. - As in water face reflects face,
so the heart of man reflects the man.
This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
