Sirach 6:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 When you gain friends, gain them through testing,
and do not trust them hastily.(A)
8 For there are friends who are such when it suits them,
but they will not stand by you in time of trouble.(B)
9 And there are friends who turn to enmity
and tell of the quarrel to your disgrace.
