My Bible heads this section with "Advice Concerning Women." I've looked ahead and find no similar section on advice concerning men; let's chalk it up to the culture in which it was written and remind ourselves that this advice flows towards both genders!
Ben Sria reminds us that while it is exciting to make new friends, there is great value in not forgetting our old ones. I remember a song when I was growing up: "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold."
Verse 14 seems to be lost on our modern world: "As much as you can, aim to know your neighbors." It seems a little harder to do in this day and age.
