Proverbs 27:10-12

Amplified Bible

¹⁰
Do not abandon your own friend and your father’s friend,
And do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster.
Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away.
¹¹
My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,
That I may reply to him who reproaches (reprimands, criticizes) me.^(A)
¹²
A prudent man sees evil and hides himself and avoids it,
But the naive [who are easily misled] continue on and are punished [by suffering the consequences of sin].^(B)
