Ecclesiasticus 11:33

Ecclesiasticus 11:33 Context

³⁰Like as a partridge taken and kept in a cage, so is the heart of the proud; and like as a spy, watcheth he for thy fall: ³¹For he lieth in wait, and turneth good into evil, and in things worthy praise will lay blame upon thee. ³²Of a spark of fire a heap of coals is kindled: and a sinful man layeth wait for blood. ³³Take heed of a mischievous man, for he worketh wickedness; lest he bring upon thee a perpetual blot. ³⁴Receive a stranger into thine house, and he will disturb thee, and turn thee out of thine own.
