Ben Sira 37:7 In-Context

5 There is a companion who helpeth his friend for the belly, and taketh up the buckler against the enemy.

6 Forget not thy friend in thy mind, and be not unmindful of him in thy riches.

7 Every counselor extolleth counsel, but there is some that counseleth for himself.

8 Beware of a counselor, and know before what need he hath; for he will counsel for himself, lest he cast the lot upon thee,

9 and say unto thee, "Thy way is good," and afterward he stand on the other side to see what shall befall thee.
