Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
Prov 18:24 · Douay-Rheims
“A man amiable in society, shall be more friendly than a brother.”
On this verse:
“A man . . . friendly--better, "A man . . . (is) to, or, may triumph (Psa 108:9), or, shout for joy (Psa 5:11), that is, may congratulate himself." Indeed, there is a Friend who is better than a brother; such is the "Friend of sinners" [Mat 11:19; Luk 7:34], who may have been before the writer's mind. Next: Proverbs Chapter 19”
