Proverbs 17:17 - A friend loves at all times

NIV A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity.
KJV A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
NASB A friend loves at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity.

Commentary

This proverb lauds faithfulness. Unlike fickle friends (14:20), a true friend is constant, and a real brother helps in times of stress.
