Ecclesiasticus 22:23 Context
20Whoso casteth a stone at the birds frayeth them away: and he that upbraideth his friend breaketh friendship. 21Though thou drewest a sword at thy friend, yet despair not: for there may be a returning to favour. 22If thou hast opened thy mouth against thy friend, fear not; for there may be a reconciliation: except for upbraiding, or pride, or disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: for for these things every friend will depart. 23Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that thou mayest rejoice in his prosperity: abide stedfast unto him in the time of his trouble, that thou mayest be heir with him in his heritage: for a mean estate is not always to be contemned: nor the rich that is foolish to be had in admiration. 24As the vapour and smoke of a furnace goeth before the fire; so reviling before blood. 25I will not be ashamed to defend a friend; neither will I hide myself from him. 26And if any evil happen unto me by him, every one that heareth it will beware of him.
"Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that thou mayest rejoice in his prosperity: abide stedfast unto him in the time of his trouble, that thou mayest be heir with him in his heritage: for a mean estate is not always to be contemned: nor the rich that is foolish to be had in admiration."
