| 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. | Do not abandon your friend or your father’s friend, And do not go to your brother’s house on the day of your disaster; Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away. |
| The clever see danger and hide; but the simple go on, and suffer for it. | A prudent person sees evil and hides himself; But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty. |
| Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens the wits of another. | As iron sharpens iron, So one person sharpens another. |
| Just as water reflects the face, so one human heart reflects another. | As in water a face reflects the face, So the heart of a person reflects the person. |
