Ecclesiasticus 12:10

Ecclesiasticus 12:10 Context

⁸A friend cannot be knowen in prosperitie, and an enemy cannot be hidden in aduersitie. ⁹In the prosperitie of a man, enemies will be grieued, but in his aduersitie, euen a friend will depart. ¹⁰Neuer trust thine enemie: for like as yron rusteth, so is his wickednesse. ¹¹Though he humble himselfe, and goe crouching, yet take good heed, and beware of him, and thou shalt bee vnto him, as if thou hadst wiped a looking glasse, and thou shalt knowe that his rust hath not beene altogether wiped away. ¹²Set him not by thee, lest when he hath ouerthrowen thee, he stand vp in thy place, neither let him sit at thy right hand, lest he seeke to take thy seat, and thou at the last remember my wordes, and be pricked therewith.
