friends
As iron sharpens iron,So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
Make no friendship with an angry man,And with a furious man do not go,
He who covers a transgression seeks love,But he who repeats a matter separates friends.
The righteous should choose his friends carefully,For the way of the wicked leads them astray.
A man who has friends must himself be friendly,But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Go from the presence of a foolish man,When you do not perceive in him the lips of knowledge.
Ointment and perfume delight the heart,And the sweetness of a man’s friend gives delight by hearty counsel.
He who walks with wise men will be wise,But the companion of fools will be destroyed.
Where no oxen are, the trough is clean;But much increase comes by the strength of an ox.
Listen to counsel and receive instruction,That you may be wise in your latter days.
