Proverbs 25:19

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

A friend you can't trust in times of trouble is like having a toothache or a sore foot.

See the chapter Copy

Singing to someone in deep sorrow is like pouring vinegar in an open cut.

Egypt can't help you! That's why I call that nation a helpless monster.

Is he depending on Egypt and its king? That's the same as leaning on a broken stick, and it will go right through his hand.

When I was first put on trial, no one helped me. In fact, everyone deserted me. I hope it won't be held against them.
