Sirach 12:10-12

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁰ Believe thou never to thine enemy; for his wickedness rusteth as (or like) iron. [Not trust, or believe, thou to thine enemy into without end; forsooth as brass rusteth out, (so) the shrewdness (or the depravity) of him.]

¹¹ Though he be made meek, and go low, cast away thy soul, and keep thee from him. [And if meeked he go crooked, throw away thy will, and keep thee from him.]

¹² Set thou not him beside thee, neither sit he at thy right side, lest he turn (against thee), and stand in thy place; lest peradventure he turn into thy place, and inquire (about) thy chair, and in (or at) the last time thou know (or remember) my words, and be pricked in (or with) my words. [Set not him beside thee, and sit he not at thy right half, lest turned he stand in thy place; lest peradventure turned into thy place he inwardly seek thy chair, and in the last thou know my words, and in my words thou be pricked.]
