| 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 own friend or your father’s friend, Nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity; Better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away. |
| The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. | A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself; The simple pass on and are punished. |
| As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. | As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. |
| As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart. | As in water face reflects face, So a man’s heart reveals the man. |
