Sirach 11:28-30
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
28 Call no one happy before his death;
by how he ends, a person becomes known.[a]
Care in Choosing Friends
29 Do not invite everyone into your home,
for many are the tricks of the crafty.
30 Like a decoy partridge in a cage, so is the mind of the proud,
and like spies they observe your weakness,[b](A)
