Ecclesiasticus 12:7 Context

⁵Doe well vnto him that is lowly, but giue not to the vngodly: hold backe thy bread, and giue it not vnto him, lest he ouermaster thee thereby. For [else] thou shalt receiue twice as much euill, for all the good thou shalt haue done vnto him. ⁶For the most High hateth sinners, and will repay vengeance vnto the vngodly, and keepeth them against the mightie day of their punishment. ⁷Giue vnto the good, and helpe not the sinner. ⁸A friend cannot be knowen in prosperitie, and an enemy cannot be hidden in aduersitie. ⁹In the prosperitie of a man, enemies will be grieued, but in his aduersitie, euen a friend will depart.
