Ben Sira 6:12

12 If your situation takes a turn for the worse, they will turn against you, and you won't be able to find them anywhere.

Ben Sira 6:12 In-Context

10 Others will sit at your table as long as things are going well; they will stick to you like your shadow and give orders to your servants, but they will not stand by you in trouble.

12 If your situation takes a turn for the worse, they will turn against you, and you won't be able to find them anywhere.

13 Stay away from your enemies and be on guard against your friends.

14 A loyal friend is like a safe shelter; find one, and you have found a treasure.
