b'Proverbs 2710 Thine own friend and thy fathers friend forsake thou not: neither enter into thy brothers house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbor that is near, than a brother far off.11 My son, be wise, and rejoice mine heart, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.12 A prudent man seeth the plague, and hideth himself: but the foolish go on still, and are punished.13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and a pledge of him for the stranger.14 He that praiseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted to him as a curse.15 A continual dropping in the day of rain, and a contentious woman are alike.113'
