"Keep fidelity with a friend in his poverty, that in his prosperity also thou mayst rejoice."
Sirach 22:28

En contexte

26Although thou hast drawn a sword at a friend, despair not: for there may be a returning. To a friend,

27If thou hast opened a sad mouth, fear not, for there may be a reconciliation: except upbraiding, and reproach, and pride, and disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: for in all these cases a friend will flee away.

28Keep fidelity with a friend in his poverty, that in his prosperity also thou mayst rejoice.

29In the time of his trouble continue faithful to him, that thou mayst also be heir with him in his inheritance.

30As the vapour of a chimney, and the smoke of the fire goeth up before the fire: so also injurious words, and reproaches, and threats, before blood.
