14. A faithful friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found him, hath found a treasure.
15. Nothing can be compared to a faithful friend, and no weight of gold and silver is able to countervail the goodness of his fidelity.
16. A faithful friend is the medicine of life and immortality: and they that fear the Lord, shall find him.
17. He that feareth God, shall likewise have good friendship: because according to him shall his friend be.
18. My son, from thy youth up receive instruction, and even to thy grey hairs thou shalt find wisdom.
