Ben Sira 6:12

12 but if you are brought low, they turn against you, and hide themselves from you.

Ben Sira 6:12 In-Context

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.

13 Keep away from your enemies, and be on guard with your friends.

14 Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter: whoever finds one has found a treasure.
