Sirach 12:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ Who pities a snake charmer
who gets bitten?
    Or anyone who goes near wild beasts?
¹⁴ So it is with anyone
who goes near sinful people
    and becomes involved in their sins.
¹⁵ They will remain with you for a time,
    but if you waver, they won’t be loyal.
