Sirach 6:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ Separate thyself from thy enemies, and take heed of thy friends.

¹⁴ A faithful friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found him, hath found a treasure.

¹⁵ Nothing can be compared to a faithful friend, and no weight of gold and silver is able to countervail the goodness of his fidelity.
