Ecclesiasticus 12:17 Context
15For a while hee will abide with thee, but if thou begin to fall, he wil not tarie. 16An enemie speaketh sweetly with his lippes, but in his heart he imagineth how to throw thee into a pit: hee will weepe with his eyes, but if he find opportunitie, hee will not be satisfied with blood. 17If aduersitie come vpon thee, thou shalt find him there first, & though he pretend to helpe thee, yet shal he vndermine thee. 18He will shake his head and clap his handes, and whisper much, and change his countenance.
