Bible Answer: jma, Judging from the variations in the following translations this must be an ambiguous Hebrew passage.

RSV: A brother helped is like a strong city, but quarreling is like the bars of a castle. NAB: A brother is a better defense than a strong city, and a friend is like the bars of a castle. Emmaus |
