Sirach 11:27-29

Revised Standard Version

²⁷ The misery of an hour makes one forget luxury,
    and at the close of a man’s life his deeds will be revealed.
²⁸ Call no one happy before his death;
    a man will be known through his children.

²⁹ Do not bring every man into your home,
    for many are the wiles of the crafty.
