Sirach 6:11
Print
They will act as if your belongings are theirs, and they will be bold toward your household slaves.
A friend if he continue steadfast, shall be to thee as thyself, and shall act with confidence among them of thy household.
Others will sit at your table as long as things are going well; they will stick to you like your shadow and give orders to your servants, but they will not stand by you in trouble.
When things go well, they are your other self, and lord it over your servants.
When you are prospering, he is your second self and lords it over your servants;
When you are prosperous, they become your second self, and lord it over your servants;
When you are prosperous, they become your second self, and lord it over your servants;
When you are prosperous, they become your second self, and lord it over your servants;
When you are prosperous, they become your second self and boldly command your slaves,
In your prosperity he will make himself your equal, and be bold with your servants;
In your prosperity he will make himself your equal, and be bold with your servants;
If a friend dwelleth steadfast, he shall be as a man even with thee, and he shall do trustily in thy menial [or homely] things.
