Ben Sira 7:18

18 Exchange not a friend for any goods by no means, neither a faithful brother for the gold of Ophir.

Ben Sira 7:18 In-Context

16 Number not thyself among the multitude of sinners, but remember that wrath will not tarry long.
17 Humble thy soul greatly, for the vengeance against the ungodly is fire and worms.
18 Exchange not a friend for any goods by no means, neither a faithful brother for the gold of Ophir.
19 Forgo not a wise and good woman, for her grace is above gold.
20 When thy servant worketh truly, treat him not evilly, nor the hireling that bestoweth himself wholly for thee.
