Sirach 12:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ Never trust thy enemy: for as a brass pot his wickedness rusteth:

¹¹ Though he humble himself and go crouching, yet take good heed and beware of him.

¹² Set him not by thee, neither let him sit on thy right hand, lest he turn into thy place, and seek to take thy seat: and at the last thou acknowledge my words, and be pricked with my sayings.
