Sirach 12 : 13 - 13 : 1
Chapter 12
| 13 | Who will pity an enchanter struck by a serpent, or any that come near wild beasts? so is it with him that keepeth company with a wicked man, and is involved in his sins.
|
| 14 | For an hour he will abide with thee: but if thou begin to decline, he will not endure it.
|
| 15 | An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips, but in his heart he lieth in wait, to throw thee into a pit.
|
| 16 | An enemy weepeth with his eyes: but if he find an opportunity he will not be satisfied with blood:
|
| 17 | And if evils come upon thee, thou shalt find him there first.
|
| 18 | An enemy hath tears in his eyes, and while he pretendeth to help thee, will undermine thy feet.
|
| 19 | He will shake his head, and clap his hands, and whisper much, and change his countenance.
|
Chapter 13
| 1 | He that toucheth pitch, shall be defiled with it: and he that hath fellowship with the proud, shall put on pride.
