{6:14} A faithful friend is a strong shelter, and whoever has found one has found a treasure.
{6:15} Nothing is comparable to a faithful friend, and no weight of silver or gold is worth more than the goodness of his fidelity.
{6:16} A faithful friend is a medicine for life and immortality; and those who fear the Lord will find one.
{6:17} He who fears God will have a similar good friendship, because his friend will be like him.
{6:18} Son, from your youth receive instruction, and then you will find wisdom, even to your grey hairs.
{6:19} Approach wisdom like one who plows and sows, and then wait for her good fruits.
{6:20} For in doing her work, you will labor a little, but you will soon eat from her produce.
