Sirach 6:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

¹⁶ A faithful friend is the medicine of life and immortality: and they that fear the Lord, shall find him.
