Proverbs 27:10 in Context — Proverbs 27
8 Como a ave, que vagueia de seu ninho, assim é o homem que anda vagueando de seu lugar.
9 O óleo e o perfume alegram ao coração; assim é a doçura de um amigo com um conselho sincero.
10 Não abandones o teu amigo, nem o amigo de teu pai; nem entres na casa de teu irmão no dia de tua adversidade; melhor é o vizinho que está perto do que o irmão que está longe.
11 Sê sábio, meu filho, e alegra meu coração; para que eu tenha algo a responder para aquele que me desprezar.
12 O prudente vê o mal, [e] se esconde; [mas] os ingênuos passam adiante, e sofrem as consequências.
