My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

10 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.

12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
