Sirach 6:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ If thou wouldst get a friend, try him before thou takest him, and do not credit him easily.

⁸ For there is a friend for his own occasion, and he will not abide in the day of thy trouble.

⁹ And there is a friend that turneth to enmity; and there is a friend that will disclose hatred and strife and reproaches.
