13 Stay away from your enemies, and be careful with your friends.

Sirach 6:13 In-Context

11 They will act as if your belongings are theirs, and they will be bold toward your household slaves.

12 If you are brought low, they will be against you, and they will abandon you.

13 Stay away from your enemies, and be careful with your friends.

14 Trustworthy friends are a strong shelter; whoever finds one has found a treasure.

15 Trustworthy friends have no price, and no one can estimate their worth.
