10Don`t forsake your friend and your father`s friend. Don`t go to your brother`s house in the day of your disaster: Better is a neighbor who is near than a distant brother.
11Be wise, my son, And bring joy to my heart, Then I can answer my tormentor.
12A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it:
13Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger; Hold it for a wayward woman!
14He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, It will be taken as a curse by him.
15A continual dropping on a rainy day And a contentious wife are alike:
16Restraining her is like restraining the wind, Or like grasping oil in his right hand.
