Selah · Bible verse
Proverbs 17:17
A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity.
In context
15He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.
16Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no understanding?
17A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity.
18A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.
19He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.
