Ben Sira 6:13

13 Separate thyself from thine enemies, and take heed of thy friends.

Ben Sira 6:13 In-Context

11 But in thy prosperity he will be as thyself, and will be bold over thy servants.

12 If thou be brought low, he will be against thee, and will hide himself from thy face.

13 Separate thyself from thine enemies, and take heed of thy friends.

14 A faithful friend is a strong defense, and he that hath found such a one hath found a treasure.

15 Nothing doth equal a faithful friend, and his excellency is invaluable.
