| 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. | 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. |
| A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. | The clever see danger and hide; but the simple go on, and suffer for it. |
| Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance. | Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens the wits of another. |
| Like water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man. | Just as water reflects the face, so one human heart reflects another. |
