Ecclesiasticus 37 — Chapter 37

Ecclesiasticus · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

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

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

3O wicked imagination, whence camest you in to cover the earth with deceit?

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

5There is a companion, which helps his friend for the belly, and takes up the buckler against the enemy.

6Forget not your friend in your mind, and be not unmindful of him in your riches.

That is the first paragraph of Ecclesiasticus 37
