In context

1Every friend saith, I am his friend also: But there is a friend, which is only a friend in name.

2Is it not a grief unto death, When a companion and friend is turned to an enemy?

— Sirach 37:3 —

4There is a companion, which rejoiceth in the prosperity of a friend, But in the time of trouble will be against him.

5There is a companion, which helpeth his friend for the belly, And taketh up the buckler against the enemy.
