In context
10 Do not forsake your friend or your father’s friend, and do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity; better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
11 Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, so that I can answer him who taunts me.
12 The prudent see danger and take cover; but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.
13 Take the garment of him who posts security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for a foreigner.
14 If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted to him as a curse.
15 A constant dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike—
16 restraining her is like holding back the wind or grasping oil with one’s right hand.
