In context
4If thou be for his profit, he will use thee; But if thou have nothing, he will forsake thee.
5If thou have anything, he will live with thee: Yea, he will make thee bare, and will not be sorry for it.
— Sirach 13:6 —
7And he will shame thee by his meats, Until he have drawn thee dry twice or thrice, And at the last he will laugh thee to scorn: Afterward, when he seeth thee, he will forsake thee, And shake his head at thee.
8Beware that thou be not deceived, And brought down in thy jollity.
