- Do not forsake your friend or the friend of your parent;
do not go to the house of your kindred in the day of your calamity.
Better is a neighbor who is nearby
than kindred who are far away. - The clever see danger and hide;
but the simple go on, and suffer for it. - Iron sharpens iron,
and one person sharpens the wits of another. - Just as water reflects the face,
so one human heart reflects another.
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Though the fig tree does not blossom,
and no fruit is on the vines;
though the produce of the olive fails
and the fields yield no food;
though the flock is cut off from the fold
and there is no herd in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
I will exult in the God of my salvation.Next verse!With image
