Proverbs 27:10-12

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ Do not forsake your friend or the friend of your parent;
    do not go to the house of your kindred in the day of your calamity.
Better is a neighbor who is nearby
    than kindred who are far away.
¹¹ Be wise, my child, and make my heart glad,
    so that I may answer whoever reproaches me.
¹² The clever see danger and hide;
    but the simple go on, and suffer for it.
