3 Thou shalt eat up thy leaves, and lose thy fruit, and leave thyself as a dry tree.
5 Sweet language will multiply friends: and a fairspeaking tongue will increase kind greetings.
6 Be in peace with many: nevertheless have but one counsellor of a thousand.
7 If thou wouldest get a friend, prove him first and be not hasty to credit him.
8 For some man is a friend for his own occasion, and will not abide in the day of thy trouble.
9 And there is a friend, who being turned to enmity, and strife will discover thy reproach.
11 But in thy prosperity he will be as thyself, and will be bold over thy servants.
12 If thou be brought low, he will be against thee, and will hide himself from thy face.
13 Separate thyself from thine enemies, and take heed of thy friends.
14 A faithfull friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure.
15 Nothing doth countervail a faithful friend, and his excellency is invaluable.
16 A faithful friend is the medicine of life; and they that fear the Lord shall find him.
18 My son, gather instruction from thy youth up: so shalt thou find wisdom till thine old age.
21 She will lie upon him as a mighty stone of trial; and he will cast her from him ere it be long.
22 For wisdom is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many.
23 Give ear, my son, receive my advice, and refuse not my counsel,
24 And put thy feet into her fetters, and thy neck into her chain.
25 Bow down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not grieved with her bonds.
26 Come unto her with thy whole heart, and keep her ways with all thy power.
28 For at the last thou shalt find her rest, and that shall be turned to thy joy.
29 Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, and her chains a robe of glory.
30 For there is a golden ornament upon her, and her bands are purple lace.
31 Thou shalt put her on as a robe of honour, and shalt put her about thee as a crown of joy.
34 Stand in the multitude of the elders; and cleave unto him that is wise.
35 Be willing to hear every godly discourse; and let not the parables of understanding escape thee.

Mishael's Ecclesiasticus Chapter 6 comment on 11/06/2020, 1:17am...
I've never seen requirements for Christian funerals.
Jesus was put in a borrowed tomb
Revelation 20:13
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it;
and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
If God knows where all the bodies are, underneath the waters,
He will be able to collect our ashes. He's God. He made everyone who ever lived.
With God all things are possible.
Be at peace in your heart.

I cannot find in any version where Ecclesiastes 6 has any other verses past verse 12. What do you base your findings that there is a verse 14?
