- Do not abandon your friend or your father’s friend,
And do not go to your brother’s house on the day of your disaster;
Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away. - A prudent person sees evil and hides himself;
But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty. - As iron sharpens iron,
So one person sharpens another. - As in water a face reflects the face,
So the heart of a person reflects the person.
The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the upright,
But ruin to the workers of injustice. After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.Next verse!With image
