A man of too many friends comes to ruin,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Other translations
NLT
There are “friends” who destroy each other,
but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.
Devotional
Insight
Loneliness is everywhere.
Many people feel cut off and alienated from others.
Being in a crowd just makes people more aware of their isolation.
We all need friends who will stick close, listen, care, and offer help when it is needed — in good times and bad.
It is better to have one such friend than dozens of superficial acquaintances.
Challenge
Instead of wishing you could find a true friend, seek to become one.
There are people who need your friendship. Ask God to reveal them to you, and then take on the challenge of being a true friend.
