Proverbs 27:10-16

New International Version

¹⁰ Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family,
    and do not go to your relative’s house when disaster^(A) strikes you—
    better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.

¹¹ Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart;^(B)
    then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.^(C)

¹² The prudent see danger and take refuge,
    but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.^(D)

¹³ Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
    hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.^(E)

¹⁴ If anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning,
    it will be taken as a curse.

¹⁵ A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping^(F)
    of a leaky roof in a rainstorm;
¹⁶ restraining her is like restraining the wind
    or grasping oil with the hand.
