³⁰ The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;
    and he that winneth souls is wise.

²⁶ The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour:
    but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

²⁰ The poor is hated even of his own neighbour:
    but the rich hath many friends.

²⁸ A froward man soweth strife:
    and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

⁹ He that covereth a transgression seeketh love;
    but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

¹⁷ A friend loveth at all times,
    and a brother is born for adversity.

¹⁹ A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city:
    and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

²⁴ A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly:
    and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

⁴ Wealth maketh many friends;
    but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
