Ecclesiasticus 11:30 Context
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. 33Take heed of a mischievous man, for he worketh wickedness; lest he bring upon thee a perpetual blot.
