Ecclesiasticus 37:3

Ecclesiasticus 37:3 Context

¹Every friend saith, I am his friend also: but there is a friend, which is only a friend in name. ²Is it not a grief unto death, when a companion and friend is turned to an enemy? ³O wicked imagination, whence camest thou in to cover the earth with deceit? ⁴There is a companion, which rejoiceth in the prosperity of a friend, but in the time of trouble will be against him. ⁵There is a companion, which helpeth his friend for the belly, and taketh up the buckler against the enemy. ⁶Forget not thy friend in thy mind, and be not unmindful of him in thy riches.
