| 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. | 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 see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. | The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it. |
| As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. | Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. |
| As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart. | As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man. |
