¹⁷Friends love all the time,
and kinsfolk are born for times of trouble.

Proverbs 17:17

New International Version

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

¹⁹An offended ally is more formidable than a city;
such quarreling is 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.
