Ben Sira 12:8

8 A friend cannot be known in prosperity, and an enemy cannot be hidden in adversity.

Ben Sira 12:8 In-Context

6 For the Most High hateth sinners, and will repay vengeance unto the ungodly, and keepeth them against the mighty day of their punishment.
7 Give unto the good, and help not the sinner.
8 A friend cannot be known in prosperity, and an enemy cannot be hidden in adversity.
9 In the prosperity of a man enemies will be grieved, but in his adversity even a friend will depart.
10 Never trust thine enemy, for as iron rusteth, so is his wickedness.
