For there are friends who are such when it suits them, but they will not stand by you in time of trouble.
9
And there are friends who change into enemies, and tell of the quarrel to your disgrace.
10
And there are friends who sit at your table, but they will not stand by you in time of trouble.
11
When you are prosperous, they become your second self, and lord it over your servants;
12
but if you are brought low, they turn against you, and hide themselves from you.
