10 Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend,
Nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;
aBetter is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
Nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;
aBetter is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
13 Take the garment of him who is surety for a stranger,
And hold it in pledge when he is surety for a seductress.
And hold it in pledge when he is surety for a seductress.
14 He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning,
It will be counted a curse to him.
It will be counted a curse to him.
