9
And there is a friend who changes into an enemy, and will disclose a quarrel to your disgrace.
10
And there is a friend who is a table companion, but will not stand by you in your day of trouble.
11
In prosperity he will make himself your equal, and be bold with your servants;
12
but if you are brought low he will turn against you, and will hide himself from your presence.
13
Keep yourself far from your enemies, and be on guard toward your friends.
