Proverbs 27:10-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 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)
11 Be wise, my child, and make my heart glad,
so that I may answer whoever reproaches me.(B)
12 The clever see danger and hide,
but the simple go on and suffer for it.(C)
