Forsaking friends

Forsaking friends

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 (Proverbs 27:10).

Do not forsake your own friend and your father's friend. You have to help them in times of need. But do not go to the house of your brother in the day of your calamity because the nearby friend is better than a brother who is far off. This shows that friends who stay near as neighbours are preferred to real brothers who are far off. Have good relations with your nearby friends.
