| 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 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. |
| The clever see danger and hide; but the simple go on, and suffer for it. | The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going 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 water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart. |
