Sirach 6:8–12

⁸For there are friends who are such when it suits them,

but they will not stand by you in time of trouble.^*

⁹And there are friends who turn to enmity

and tell of the quarrel to your disgrace.

¹⁰And there are friends who are companions at the table,

but they will not stand by you in time of trouble.^*

¹¹When you are prosperous, they become your second self

and boldly command your slaves,

¹²but if you are brought low, they turn against you

and hide themselves from you.
