Sirach 22:21-23
Wycliffe Bible
21 Though thou bringest forth a sword to a friend, despair thou not; for there is going again to the friend.
22 If he openeth a sorrowful [or a dreary] mouth, dread thou not; for why there is according, except (for) despising, and shame, and pride, and showing [or opening] of private(s) (or of secrets), and a treacherous wound; in all these things a friend shall fly away [or shall flee away].
23 Have thou faith with a friend in his poverty, (so) that thou be glad also in his goods. In the time of his tribulations, dwell thou faithful to him [or abide still to him faithful], (so) that also thou be ever-heir in the heritage of him.
