Proverbs 27:10 in Context — Proverbs 27
8 Cual ave que se va de su nido, tal es el hombre que se va de su lugar.
9 El ungüento y el perfume alegran el corazón: y el amigo al hombre con el cordial consejo.
10 No dejes á tu amigo, ni al amigo de tu padre; ni entres en casa de tu hermano el día de tu aflicción: mejor es el vecino cerca que el hermano lejano.
11 Sé sabio, hijo mío, y alegra mi corazón, y tendré qué responder al que me deshonrare.
12 El avisado ve el mal, [y] escóndese; [mas] los simples pasan, [y] llevan el daño.
