Sirach 6:5-7

Wycliffe Bible

⁵ A sweet word multiplieth friends, and assuageth enemies; and a tongue well gracious shall be plenteous in a good man. [A sweet word multiplieth friends, and assuageth enemies; and a gracious tongue in a good man shall abound.]

⁶ Many peaceable men be to thee, and (or but) one (out) of a thousand be a counsellor to thee. [Many peaceable be to thee, and counsellor be to thee one of a thousand.]

⁷ If thou hast a friend, have him in temptation, that is, prove thou him in thine adversity, and betake not lightly thyself to him. [if thou wieldest a friend, in temptation wield him, and not lightly open, or trust, thou thyself to him.]
