Sirach 27:9-11

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁹ Birds roost with their own kind,
    so honesty comes home to those who practice it.^(A)
10 A lion lies in wait for prey;
    so does sin for evildoers.^(B)

¹¹ The conversation of the godly is always wise,
    but the fool changes like the moon.
