Sirach 6:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Nothing can be compared to a faithful friend, and no weight of gold and silver is able to countervail the goodness of his fidelity.

¹⁶ A faithful friend is the medicine of life and immortality: and they that fear the Lord, shall find him.

¹⁷ He that feareth God, shall likewise have good friendship: because according to him shall his friend be.
