- Do not forsake your friend and your father's friend,
and do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity.
Better is a neighbor who is near
than a brother who is far away. - The prudent sees danger and hides himself,
but the simple go on and suffer for it. - Iron sharpens iron,
and one man sharpens another. - As in water face reflects face,
so the heart of man reflects the man. - If one turns away his ear from hearing the law,
even his prayer is an abomination. - Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. - A fool gives full vent to his spirit,
but a wise man quietly holds it back. - One's pride will bring him low,
but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor. - The fear of man lays a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. - Every word of God proves true;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. - Remove far from me falsehood and lying;
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with the food that is needful for me.
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
