Ben Sira 12:9

Listen to Ben Sira 12:9
9 In the prosperity of a man, his enemies are grieved: and a friend is known in his adversity.

Ben Sira 12:9 In-Context

7 For thou shalt receive twice as much evil for all the good thou shalt have done to him: for the Highest also hateth sinners, and will repay vengeance to the ungodly.
8 A friend shall not be known in prosperity, and an enemy shall not be hidden in adversity.
9 In the prosperity of a man, his enemies are grieved: and a friend is known in his adversity.
10 Never trust thy enemy: for as a brass pot his wickedness rusteth:
11 he humble himself and go crouching, yet take good heed and beware of him.
