| Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend. Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster. A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother. | 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. |
| A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass 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; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance. | Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. |
| Like water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man. | As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. |
