Wisdom of Ben Sira 22:21-23

New Catholic Bible

²¹ If you draw a sword against a friend,
    do not despair, for it can still be undone.
²² If you have quarreled with a friend,
    do not fear, for you can still be reconciled.
But as for taunts, arrogance, betrayal of secrets, and stabs in the back—
    these will drive away any friend.
²³ Be faithful to your neighbor while he is poor
    so that you may later rejoice with him in his good fortune.
Stand by him in times of distress
    so that you may share with him in his inheritance.
[For no one should ever despise someone’s appearance
    or marvel at a stupid man who is rich.]^[a]
