Sirach 11:27-29
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
27 An hour’s misery makes one forget past delights,
and at the close of one’s life one’s deeds are revealed.
28 Call no one happy before his death;
by how he ends, a person becomes known.[a]
Care in Choosing Friends
29 Do not invite everyone into your home,
for many are the tricks of the crafty.
