Sirach 12:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ A friend is not avenged^[a]
in prosperity,
    and an enemy is not hidden
    in adversity.
⁹ When people are prosperous,
their enemies are in pain,
    and when they meet with adversity,
    even friends will keep away.
¹⁰ Don’t ever trust your enemies;
    for just as copper corrodes,
    so their wickedness does as well.
