Sirach 6:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Friendship, False and True
5 Pleasant speech multiplies friends,
and a gracious tongue multiplies courtesies.(A)
6 Let those who are at peace with you be many,
but let your advisers be one in a thousand.(B)
7 When you gain friends, gain them through testing,
and do not trust them hastily.(C)
