9 The heartfelt counsel of a friend
is as sweet as perfume and incense.
10 Never abandon a friend—

When disaster strikes, you won’t have to ask your brother for assistance.
It’s better to go to a neighbor than to a brother who lives far away.

And do not come to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster;
Better is one who dwells near than a brother far away.
