Ecclesiasticus 11:29

Ecclesiasticus 11:29 Context

²⁶For it is an easy thing unto the Lord in the day of death to reward a man according to his ways. ²⁷The affliction of an hour maketh a man forget pleasure: and in his end his deeds shall be discovered. ²⁸Judge none blessed before his death: for a man shall be known in his children. ²⁹Bring not every man into thine house: for the deceitful man hath many trains. 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.
