23
A friend and companion never meet amiss, but above both is a wife with her husband.
24
Brethren and help are against time of trouble, but alms shall deliver more than them both.
25
Gold and silver make the foot stand sure, but counsel is esteemed above them both.
26
Riches and strength lift up the heart, but the fear of the Lord is above them both. There is no want in the fear of the Lord, and it needeth not to seek help.
27
The fear of the Lord is a fruitful garden, and covereth him above all glory.
