Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; And go not to thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: Better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off.

Do not give up your friend and your father's friend; and do not go into your brother's house in the day of your trouble: better is a neighbour who is near than a brother far off.

Τον φιλον σου και τον φιλον του πατρος σου μη εγκαταλιπης· εις δε τον οικον του αδελφου σου μη εισελθης εν τη ημερα της συμφορας σου· διοτι καλητερον ειναι γειτων πλησιον παρα αδελφος μακραν.

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.
