9 Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.
9 One who seeks love conceals an offense, but one who repeats it divides friends.
17 A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.
17 Friends love all the time, and kinsfolk are born for times of trouble.
