In context

10Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; And when thou art in distress go not into thy brother’s house: Better is a friend that is near than a brother living far off.

11Son, be wise, that thy heart may rejoice; And remove thou from thyself reproachful words.

— Proverbs 27:12 —

13Take away the man’s garment (for a scorner has passed by), Whoever lays waste another’s goods.

14Whosoever shall bless a friend in the morning with a loud voice, Shall seem to differ nothing from one who curses him.
