Sirach 6:8-12 World English Bible (WEB)

8. For there is a friend that is so for his own occasion; And he will not continue in the day of your affliction.

9. And there is a friend that turns to enmity; And he will discover strife to your reproach.

10. And there is a friend that is a companion at the table; And he will not continue in the day of your affliction.

11. And in your prosperity he will be as yourself, And will be bold over your servants:

12. If you shall be brought low, he will be against you, And will hide himself from your face.
