Bible Verses

Get security from someone who guarantees a stranger’s debt.
Get a deposit if he does it for foreigners.

A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions.
The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.

Be wise, my child, and make my heart glad.
Then I will be able to answer my critics.

Never abandon a friend—
either yours or your father’s.
When disaster strikes, you won’t have to ask your brother for assistance.
It’s better to go to a neighbor than to a brother who lives far away.

The heartfelt counsel of a friend
is as sweet as perfume and incense.
