Friends And Neighbors Supporting Each Other
Proverbs 27:10 (NIV)

10) 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.

Proverbs Club Commentary

Count on friends and neighbors, and let them count on you, whenever needed.
It is a good front line before counting on family.
And it is good for all.

7) Like the useless legs of one who is lame

Crimes Against The Righteous
Proverbs 24:15-16 (NIV)

15) Do not lurk like a thief near the house of the righteous,
do not plunder their dwelling place;
16) for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again,
but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

Proverbs Club Commentary

The grace of God allows the Righteous to recover from crimes.
The Wicked have no such assurances.
