A faithful friend is a firm friend; And he that findeth him hath found a treasure.
There is no exchange for a faithful friend; Nor price that can be weighed for his goodness.
A faithful friend is a balm (G S) of life; He that feareth God shall obtain it.
For as he is, so is his neighbour; And as his name, so are his works.
Child, from your youth acquire learning, and until gray hairs reach for wisdom.
As one that plougheth and as one that reapeth approach unto her; And wait for the abundance of her increase. For in the tillage of her thou shalt toil a little; And on the morrow (H) thou shalt eat her fruit.
