Proverbs 17:17

Amplified Bible

¹⁷
A friend loves at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity.

Proverbs 17:17

New International Version

¹⁷A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity.^(A)

¹⁹
A brother offended is harder to win over than a fortified city,
And contentions [separating families] are like the bars of a castle.

¹⁹A brother wronged^(A) is more unyielding than a fortified city;
disputes are like the barred gates of a citadel.
