10 Don't forsake your friend and your father's friend. Don't go to your brother's house in the day of your disaster: Better is a neighbor who is near than a distant brother.
11 Be wise, my son, And bring joy to my heart, Then I can answer my tormentor.
12 A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it:
13 Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger; Hold it for a wayward woman!
14 He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, It will be taken as a curse by him.
