Proverbs 6:1-5
Authorized (King James) Version
6 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend,
if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
2 thou art snared with the words of thy mouth,
thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself,
when thou art come into the hand of thy friend;
go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
4 Give not sleep to thine eyes,
nor slumber to thine eyelids.
5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter,
and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Proverbs 17:17
Authorized (King James) Version
17 A friend loveth at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity.
Proverbs 24:10
Authorized (King James) Version
10 If thou faint in the day of adversity,
thy strength is small.
Proverbs 27:10
Authorized (King James) Version
10 Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not;
neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity:
for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
