"A Friend Loves at all Times" Proverbs 17:14-28

Solomon makes beautiful comparisons between the wicked and the righteous that give us real wisdom as we live in this fallen world.  He tells that a friend loves at all times.  We have many acquaintances but only a few true friends that will be with us through every adversity.  He finishes with the fool who keeps quiet and closes his lips will be considered wise and intelligent.
