Sirach 11:27-29
Good News Translation
27 At that time our deeds are open for all to see; all our happiness can be erased in that one moment of misery. 28 So then, don't think of anyone's life as happy until it is over, because all the evidence is not in until the person is dead.[a]
Be Careful in Choosing Friends
29 Be careful about the kind of person you invite into your home, because clever people can fool you in many ways.
