¹⁷ A friend loves at all times;
    and a brother is born for adversity.

²⁴ A man of many companions may be ruined,
    but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

⁶ The wounds of a friend are faithful,
    although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.

⁹ Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart;
    so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.

¹⁰ Don’t forsake your friend and your father’s friend.
    Don’t go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster.
    A neighbor who is near is better than a distant brother.
