20:027:008 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
20:027:009 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
20:027:010 Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
20:027:011 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
20:027:012 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
20:027:013 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

20:027:015 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

20:027:017 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
