- Do not forsake your friend or the friend of your father,
and do not run to your brother’s house when troubles befall you;
far better is a friend nearby
than a brother who is far away. - The prudent man perceives danger and seeks shelter,
while the simple continue forward and pay the penalty. - As iron sharpens iron,
so a man sharpens the wits of his neighbor. - Just as water reflects one’s face,
so does one human heart reflect another.
May the Lord cause your love to increase and overflow for one another and for everyone else, just as our love does for you. Those who place their hope in the Lord
will regain their strength.
They will soar as with eagles’ wings,
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not become faint.Next verse!With image
