¹⁷ A friend loveth at all times;
And ^[a]a brother is born for adversity.

²² That which maketh a man to be desired is his kindness;
And a poor man is better than a liar.

^6 [a]Most men will proclaim every one his own kindness;
But a faithful man who can find?

²⁸ Kindness and truth preserve the king;
And ^[a]his throne is upholden by kindness.

²¹ He that followeth after righteousness and kindness
Findeth life, righteousness, and honor.

⁶ Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
But the kisses of an enemy are profuse.

¹⁰ Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not;
And go not to thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity:
Better is a neighbor that is near than a brother far off.
