5A sweet word multiplieth friends, and appeaseth enemies, and a gracious tongue in a good man aboundeth.

6Be in peace with many, but let one of a thousand be thy counsellor.

7If thou wouldst get a friend, try him before thou takest him, and do not credit him easily.

8For there is a friend for his own occasion, and he will not abide in the day of thy trouble.

9And there is a friend that turneth to enmity; and there is a friend that will disclose hatred and strife and reproaches.

10And there is a friend a companion at the table, and he will not abide in the day of distress.

11A friend if he continue steadfast, shall be to thee as thyself, and shall act with confidence among them of thy household.

12If he humble himself before thee, and hide himself from thy face, thou shalt have unanimous friendship for good.

13Separate thyself from thy enemies, and take heed of thy friends.

14A faithful friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found him, hath found a treasure.

15Nothing can be compared to a faithful friend, and no weight of gold and silver is able to countervail the goodness of his fidelity.

16A faithful friend is the medicine of life and immortality: and they that fear the Lord, shall find him.

17He that feareth God, shall likewise have good friendship: because according to him shall his friend be.

12Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy justifications.

16I will think of thy justifications: I will not forget thy words.

18Open thou my eyes: and I will consider the wondrous things of thy law.

27Make me to understand the way of thy justifications: and I shall be exercised in thy wondrous works.

34Give me understanding, and I will search thy law; and I will keep it with my whole heart.

35Lead me into the path of thy commandments; for this same I have desired.

17Sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth.

1And rising up from thence, he cometh into the coast of Judea beyond the Jordan: and the multitude flocked to him again. And as he was accustomed, he taught them again.

2And the Pharisees coming to him asked him, tempting him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?

3But he answering, saith to them: What did Moses command you?

4Who said: Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce and to put her away.

5To whom Jesus answering, said: Because of the hardness of your heart, he wrote you that precept.

6But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.

7For this cause, a man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife.

8And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh.

9What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.

10And in the house again his disciples asked him concerning the same thing.

11And he saith to them: Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another committeth adultery against her.

12And if the wife shall put away her husband and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
