Sirach 37:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁵ Some companions help a friend for their stomachs’ sake,
    yet in battle they will carry his shield.
⁶ Do not forget a friend during the battle,^[a]
    and do not be unmindful of him when you distribute your spoils.^[b]

⁷ All counsellors praise the counsel they give,
    but some give counsel in their own interest.
