Sirach 11:27-29
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
27 The misery of an hour makes one forget luxury,
and at the close of a man’s life his deeds will be revealed.
28 Call no one happy before his death;
a man will be known through his children.
Care in Choosing Friends
29 Do not bring every man into your home,
for many are the wiles of the crafty.
