Sirach 19:26-30

1. 26 There is a wicked man that hangeth down his head sadly; but inwardly he is full of deceit,

2. 27 Casting down his countenance, and making as if he heard not: where he is not known, he will do thee a mischief before thou be aware.

3. 28 And if for want of power he be hindered from sinning, yet when he findeth opportunity he will do evil.

4. 29 A man may be known by his look, and one that hath understanding by his countenance, when thou meetest him.

5. 30 A man's attire, and excessive laughter, and gait, shew what he is.
