Proverbs 17:17

Holman Christian Standard Bible

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

¹⁹An ally offended is stronger than a city;^[a]
such quarreling is like the bars of a castle.

¹⁹An offended brother is harder to reach^[a]
than a fortified city,
and quarrels are like the bars of a fortress.
