Proverbs 27:10-16

1. 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.

2. 11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

3. 12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

4. 13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

5. 14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

6. 15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

7. 16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
