Ecclesiasticus 12:9 Context
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. 10Neuer trust thine enemie: for like as yron rusteth, so is his wickednesse. 11Though he humble himselfe, and goe crouching, yet take good heed, and beware of him, and thou shalt bee vnto him, as if thou hadst wiped a looking glasse, and thou shalt knowe that his rust hath not beene altogether wiped away.
