Proverbs Topic #14 Friendship

12:26 "The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray."
17:9 "He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends."
17:17 "A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need."
18:24 "There are 'friends' who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother."
20:6 "
A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."
22:24
"Make no friendship with an angry man, And with a furious man do not go,"
27:6 "Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful."
27:9 "Ointment and perfume delight the heart, And the sweetness of a man’s friend gives delight by hearty counsel."
27:10 "Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend, Nor go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity; Better is a neighbor nearby than a brother far away."
27:14 "He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, It will be counted a curse to him."
27:17 "As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend."

I like these verses- we will definitely be referencing back to them as we instruct our children who they should be hanging out with. Choose your friends wisely!!
