¹⁷ A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

²⁴ A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

⁹ Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

¹⁰ Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

¹⁴ He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

¹⁷ Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
