The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: PRO 27:10 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.
PRO 27:11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer
him that reproacheth me.
PRO 27:12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the
simple pass on, and are punished.
PRO 27:13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a
pledge of him for a strange woman.
PRO 27:14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early
in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
