My son, if thou art surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

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

A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.

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

Many will entreat the favor of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

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

Thy 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 neighbor that is near, than a brother far off.

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

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