| 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. | Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off. |
| The clever see danger and hide; but the simple go on, and suffer for it. | A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished. |
| Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens the wits of another. | Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. |
| Just as water reflects the face, so one human heart reflects another. | As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. |
