Proverbs 27:10

רֵֽעֲךָ֨ וְרֵ֪עַ אָבִ֡יךָ אַֽל תַּעֲזֹ֗ב וּבֵ֣ית אָחִ֣יךָ אַל תָּ֭בוֹא בְּי֣וֹם אֵידֶ֑ךָ טֽוֹב שָׁכֵ֥ן קָ֝ר֗וֹב מֵאָ֥ח רָחֽוֹק׃
reʿaka vreʿa ʾabiyka ʾal taʿazob vbeyt ʾaḥiyka ʾal tabvoʾ byvom ʾeydeka ṭvob shaken qarvob meʾaḥ raḥvoq
King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

Do not forsake your friend and your father's friend, and do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity. Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away.
