Proverbs 27:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 27:12

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.

11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
^aThat I may answer him who reproaches me.

12 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself;
The simple pass on and are ^apunished.

13 Take the garment of him who is surety for a stranger,
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.

15 A ^acontinual dripping on a very rainy day
And a contentious woman are alike;
