Proverbs 18:24
A man . . . friendly—better, "A man . . . (is) to, or, may triumph (Psalms 108:9), or, shout for joy (Psalms 5:11), that is, may congratulate himself." Indeed, there is a Friend who is better than a brother; such is the "Friend of sinners" [Matthew 11:19; Luke 7:34], who may have been before the writer's mind.
