A friend in need is a friend indeed
One who brings you comfort; your pain relief
If you have one, what else in life do you need ?
A true friend stands by you in times of trouble
He sticks to you like your shadow
Even in times of sorrow
He is your source of hope
A loyal friend is like a safe shelter
Find one and you have found a treasure
His affection is much beyond measure
He's always around to give you please
Even when you are under pressure
A loyal friend is a medicine that keeps you in good health
Only those who fear the Lord can find such friend
He'll never rob you of your wealth
The greatest gift ever in this world
Such gift surpasses any other in this world
But a bad friend is a decoy to lure you into danger
When you're in need, he calls you a stranger
Like a spy, he figures out your weakness
Makes good appear evil and finds fault with your noblest actions
He always hides his wickedness
And when there's an opportunity, hurts you without hesitating
It is only in your presence
That he exhibits compassion
Friendship is like wine;
It gets better as it grows older
Choose a righteous man as you dinner companion
And your chief pride should be the fear of the Lord
