"In the prosperity of a man, his enemies are grieved: and a friend is known in his adversity."
Sirach 12:9

En contexte

7For thou shalt receive twice as much evil for all the good thou shalt have done to him: for the Highest also hateth sinners, and will repay vengeance to the ungodly.

8A friend shall not be known in prosperity, and an enemy shall not be hidden in adversity.

9In the prosperity of a man, his enemies are grieved: and a friend is known in his adversity.

10Never trust thy enemy: for as a brass pot his wickedness rusteth:

11Though he humble himself and go crouching, yet take good heed and beware of him.
