Sirach 6:15
King James VersionSource notes
“Nothing doth countervail a faithful friend, and his excellency is invaluable.”
Context
12If thou be brought low, he will be against thee, and will hide himself from thy face.
13Separate thyself from thine enemies, and take heed of thy friends.
14A faithfull friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure.
15Nothing doth countervail a faithful friend, and his excellency is invaluable.
16A faithful friend is the medicine of life; and they that fear the Lord shall find him.
17Whoso feareth the Lord shall direct his friendship aright: for as he is, so shall his neighbour be also.
18My son, gather instruction from thy youth up: so shalt thou find wisdom till thine old age.
