9 And there is a friend who can be turned to animosity. And there is a friend who will reveal hatred and ridicule and insults.
10 And there is a friend who is a companion at table, but he will not remain in a day of need.
11 A friend, if he remains steadfast, will be to you as you are to yourself, and he will act with faithfulness among those of your household.
12 If he humbles himself before you and hides himself from your face, you shall have a noble and harmonious friendship.
13 Distance yourself from your enemies, and pay attention to your friends.
14 A faithful friend is a strong shelter, and whoever has found one has found a treasure.
15 Nothing is comparable to a faithful friend, and no weight of silver or gold is worth more than the goodness of his fidelity.
