Ben Sira 12:9

9 In the prosperity of a man enemies will be grieved, but in his adversity even a friend will depart.

Ben Sira 12:9 In-Context

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.
11 Though he humble himself and go crouching, yet take good heed and beware of him; and thou shalt be unto him as if thou hadst wiped a looking glass, and thou shalt know that his rust hath not been altogether wiped away.
