Far better a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

Peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near

Sad Patience, too near neighbour to despair.

Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness! / Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.

He Himself is near, and He Himself is far away; He Himself is in-between. He Himself beholds, and He Himself listens.

Make happy those who are near, and those who are far will come
