Mishnah 3 - Chapter 2 - Pirkei Avot
הֱווּ זְהִירִין בָּרָשׁוּת, שֶׁאֵין מְקָרְבִין לוֹ לָאָדָם אֶלָּא לְצֹרֶךְ עַצְמָן. נִרְאִין כְּאוֹהֲבִין בִּשְׁעַת הֲנָאָתָן. וְאֵין עוֹמְדִין לוֹ לָאָדָם בִּשְׁעַת דָּחֳקוֹ:
Chapter 2 / Mishnah 3 : Transliterated Pirkei Avot
Hevu zehirin barashut, she'ein mekarevin lo la'adam ella letzorech atzman. Nir'in ke'ohavin bish'at hana'atan. Ve'ein omedin lo la'adam bish'at dochoko.
Chapter 2 / Mishnah 3 - Pirkei Avot translated into English
Be careful [in your dealings] with the ruling authorities for they do not befriend a person except for their own needs; they seem like friends when it is to their own interest, but they do not stand by a man in the hour of his distress.
Description / commentaries - Pirkei Avot - Mishnah 3 - Chapter 2
[You, who toil with the congregation, even though you must ingratiate yourself with the authorities in order to see to the needs of the congregation,] take heed of the authorities, for they draw one near only for their own ends. They appear to be lovers when things are going well for them, but they do not stand by a man in the time of his distress.
