Matthew Henry Commentary Proverbs 10:9-10

"He that walketh uprightly walketh surely; But he that perverteth his ways shall be known. He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow; But a prating fool shall fall." — Proverbs 10:9-10 (ASV)

Do not depend on a relative for relief, merely for the sake of kinship; apply to those who are nearby and will help in need. But there is a Friend that sticketh closer than a brother, and let us place entire confidence in Him.
