Sirach 6:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ A friend if he continue steadfast, shall be to thee as thyself, and shall act with confidence among them of thy household.

¹² If he humble himself before thee, and hide himself from thy face, thou shalt have unanimous friendship for good.

¹³ Separate thyself from thy enemies, and take heed of thy friends.
