{37:1} Every friend will say: “I also am a close friend.” But there is a friend who is a friend in name only. Is this not a grief even unto death?
{37:2} But a companion and friend may turn into an enemy.
{37:3} O wicked presumption! From what were you created that you would cover the dry land with your malice and deceitfulness?
{37:4} A companion may rejoice with his friend in good times, but in a time of tribulation, he will be an adversary.
{37:5} There is a companion who commiserates with a friend for the sake of the stomach, but he will shield himself from the enemy.

{36:26} He who holds to a good wife establishes a possession. She is a helper in agreement with him, and she is a pillar of rest.
{36:27} Where there is no hedge, a possession will be trampled. And where there is no wife, he will mourn her absence.
{36:28} Who will trust one who has no nest, and who conceals himself wherever his course may take him, like a well-equipped robber passing from city to city?
