Proverbs 27:13 in context

Proverbs 27:10–16

10

Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend.

Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster.

A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.

11

Be wise, my son,

and bring joy to my heart,

then I can answer my tormentor.

12

A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge;

but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.

13
Selected verse

Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger.

Hold it for a wayward woman!

14

He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning,

it will be taken as a curse by him.

15

A continual dropping on a rainy day

and a contentious wife are alike:

16

restraining her is like restraining the wind,

or like grasping oil in his right hand.
