| 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. | Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend. Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster. A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother. |
| A prudent person sees evil and hides himself; But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty. | A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. |
| As iron sharpens iron, So one person sharpens another. | Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance. |
| As in water a face reflects the face, So the heart of a person reflects the person. | Like water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man. |
