friends
He who loves purity of heartAnd has grace on his lips,The king will be his friend.
Without counsel, plans go awry,But in the multitude of counselors they are established.
When a man’s ways please the Lord,He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Most men will proclaim each his own goodness,But who can find a faithful man?
Whoever hides hatred has lying lips,And whoever spreads slander is a fool.
He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets;Therefore do not associate with one who flatters with his lips.
Two are better than one,Because they have a good reward for their labor.
Two are better than one,Because they have a good reward for their labor.
Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
And one will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’ Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’
