PROVERBS 27:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
Do not forsake your friend or a friend of your family, and do not go to your relative's house when disaster strikes you—better a neighbor nearby than a relative far away—an exhortation to maintain friendships and to recognize that present, nearby support is more valuable than distant family ties. The theological significance involves the principle of the importance of proximate relationships.
