Sirach 37:3-5
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
3 O inclination to evil, why were you formed
to cover the land with deceit?
4 Some companions rejoice in the happiness of a friend,
but in time of trouble they are against him.
5 Some companions help a friend for their stomachs’ sake,
yet in battle they will carry his shield.
