| Sirach 37:1-6; False friendship. Lesson Six. Any friend will say, 'I am your friend too,' but some friends are friends only in name. Is it not a deadly sorrow when a comrade or a friend turns enemy? O evil inclination, why were you created, to cover the earth with deceit? One kind of comrade congratulates a friend in prosperity but in time of trouble appears on the other side. One kind of comrade genuinely feels for a friend and when it comes to a fight, springs to arms. Do not forget the genuine friend, do not push him out of mind once you are rich. |
