Are friends loyal to the one who despairs, or do they stop fearing the Almighty?
To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; But he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
To him who is about to faint and despair, kindness is due from his friend, lest he forsake the fear of the Almighty.
To him that is ready to faint kindness should be showed from his friend; Even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
He who takes away mercy from his friend, abandons the fear of the Lord.
