1 Every friend will say: "I also am a close friend." But there is a friend who is a friend in name only. Is this not a grief even unto death?
2 But a companion and friend may turn into an enemy.
3 O wicked presumption! From what were you created that you would cover the dry land with your malice and deceitfulness?
4 A companion may rejoice with his friend in good times, but in a time of tribulation, he will be an adversary.
5 There is a companion who commiserates with a friend for the sake of the stomach, but he will shield himself from the enemy.
6 You should not forget your friend in your soul, and you should not be unmindful of him in your wealth.
