{6:8} For there is a friend according to his own time, but he will not remain in the day of tribulation.
{6:9} And there is a friend who can be turned to animosity. And there is a friend who will reveal hatred and ridicule and insults.
{6:10} And there is a friend who is a companion at table, but he will not remain in a day of need.
{6:11} A friend, if he remains steadfast, will be to you as you are to yourself, and he will act with faithfulness among those of your household.
{6:12} If he humbles himself before you and hides himself from your face, you shall have a noble and harmonious friendship.
{6:13} Distance yourself from your enemies, and pay attention to your friends.
