Wisdom of Ben Sira 6:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ A faithful friend is beyond price;
    there is no possible way to measure his worth.
¹⁶ A faithful friend is the elixir of life,
    and he who fears the Lord will find him.
¹⁷ He who fears the Lord directs his friendship aright,
    for as he is, so also will his neighbor be.
