'Friends' in the Bible

A perverse man spreads strife,And a slanderer separates intimate friends.

He who conceals a transgression seeks love,But he who repeats a matter separates intimate friends.

A man of too many friends comes to ruin,But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Wealth adds 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.
