- 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.
- My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
- A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
- Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
- He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
|
- Do not forsake your friend and the friend of your father, and do not go to your brother's house when disaster strikes you-- better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
- Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart; then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.
- The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.
- Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger; hold it in pledge if he does it for a wayward woman.
- If a man loudly blesses his neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse.
|
- A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
- Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
- Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
- Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
- As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
|
- A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day;
- restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.
- As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
- He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored.
- As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man.
