'Friends' in the Bible

The poor man is hated even by his neighbor,But those who love the rich are many.

A perverse man spreads strife,And one who gossips separates intimate friends.

He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love,But he who repeats or gossips about a matter separates intimate friends.

The man of too many friends [chosen indiscriminately] will be broken in pieces and come to ruin,But there is a [true, loving] friend who [is reliable and] sticks closer than a brother.

Wealth makes many friends,But a poor man is separated from his friend.

All the brothers of a poor man hate him;How much more do his friends abandon him!He pursues them with words, but they are gone.
