¹⁰ Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family, and do not go to your relative's house when disaster strikes you- better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away.

¹⁰ Thine own friend, and the friend of thy father, forsake not, And the house of thy brother enter not In a day of thy calamity, Better 'is' a near neighbour than a brother afar off.

¹⁰ Don't leave your friends or your parents' friends and run home to your family when things get rough; Better a nearby friend than a distant family.
