Ben Sira 6:12

12 If he humble himself before thee, and hide himself from thy face, thou shalt have unanimous friendship for good.

Ben Sira 6:12 In-Context

10 And there is a friend a companion at the table, and he will not abide in the day of distress.

11 A friend ii he continue steadfast, shall be to thee as thyself, and shall act with confidence among them of thy household.

12 If he humble himself before thee, and hide himself from thy face, thou shalt have unanimous friendship for good.

13 Separate thyself from thy enemies, and take heed of thy friends.

14 A faithful friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found him, hath found a treasure.
