In context

8A friend cannot be known in prosperity: and an enemy cannot be hidden in adversity.

9In the prosperity of a man enemies will be grieved: but in his adversity even a friend will depart.

Sirach 12:10

11Though he humble himself, and go crouching, yet take good heed and beware of him, and thou shalt be unto him as if thou hadst wiped a lookingglass, and thou shalt know that his rust hath not been altogether wiped away.

12Set him not by thee, lest, when he hath overthrown thee, he stand up in thy place; neither let him sit at thy right hand, lest he seek to take thy seat, and thou at the last remember my words, and be pricked therewith.
