Ecclesiasticus 19:28

Ecclesiasticus 19:28 Context

²⁵There is an exquisite subtilty, and the same is unjust; and there is one that turneth aside to make judgment appear; and there is a wise man that justifieth in judgment. ²⁶There is a wicked man that hangeth down his head sadly; but inwardly he is full of deceit, ²⁷Casting 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. ²⁸And if for want of power he be hindered from sinning, yet when he findeth opportunity he will do evil. ²⁹A man may be known by his look, and one that hath understanding by his countenance, when thou meetest him. ³⁰A man's attire, and excessive laughter, and gait, shew what he is.
