Sirach 12:14-18
-
14 So one that goeth to a sinner, and is defiled with him in his sins, who will pity?
-
15 For a while he will abide with thee, but if thou begin to fall, he will not tarry.
-
16 An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips, but in his heart he imagineth how to throw thee into a pit: he will weep with his eyes, but if he find opportunity, he will not be satisfied with blood.
-
17 If adversity come upon thee, thou shalt find him there first; and though he pretend to help thee, yet shall he undermine thee.
-
18 He will shake his head, and clap his hands, and whisper much, and change his countenance.
