¹⁷ A true friend loves regardless of the situation,
    and a real brother exists to share the tough times.

²² Loyalty is a trait admired in others,
    and being destitute is better than being a liar.

⁶ Most people claim to be loyal,
    but can anyone find a trustworthy person?

²⁸ Loyal love and faithfulness safeguard the king;
    his throne is perpetuated through loyal love.

²¹ Whoever pursues justice and treats others with kindness
    discovers true life marked by integrity and respect.

⁶ Wounds inflicted by the correction of a friend prove he is faithful;
    the abundant kisses of an enemy show his lies.

¹⁰ Do not neglect your friend or your parent’s friend for that matter.
    When hard times come, you don’t have to travel far to get help from family;
A neighbor who is near is better
    than a brother who is far away.
