| 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. | Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family, and do not go to your relative’s house when disaster strikes you— better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away. |
| A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished. | The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. |
| Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. | As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. |
| As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. | As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart. |
Bible verse of the day
My times are in thy hand:deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,
and from them that persecute me.
