Sirach 6:8–12

⁸For there is a friend who is such at his own convenience,

but will not stand by you in your day of trouble.

⁹And there is a friend who changes into an enemy,

and will disclose a quarrel to your disgrace.

¹⁰And there is a friend who is a table companion,

but will not stand by you in your day of trouble.

¹¹In prosperity he will make himself your equal,

and be bold with your servants;

¹²but if you are brought low he will turn against you,

and will hide himself from your presence.
