8. In prosperity we cannot know our friends;in adversity an enemy will not remain concealed.
9. When one is successful even an enemy is friendly;but in adversity even a friend disappears.
10. Never trust your enemies,for their wickedness is like corrosion in bronze.
11. Even though they act deferentially and peaceably toward you,take care to be on your guard against them.Treat them as those who reveal secrets,and be certain that in the end there will still be envy.
