Sirach 6:8–12

⁸For some man is a friend for his own occasion,

And ^ewill not abide in the day of thy trouble.

⁹And there is a friend, who being turned to enmity and strife

Will discover thy reproach.

¹⁰Again, ^fsome friend is a companion at the table,

And ^ewill not continue in the day of thy affliction.

¹¹But in thy prosperity he will be as thyself,

And will be bold over thy servants.

¹²If thou be brought low, he will be against thee,

And will hide himself from thy face.
