¹⁷ A friend is always loyal,
    and a brother is born to help in time of need.

¹⁹ An offended friend is harder to win back than a fortified city.
    Arguments separate friends like a gate locked with bars.

²⁴ There are “friends” who destroy each other,
    but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.

⁶ Many will say they are loyal friends,
    but who can find one who is truly reliable?
