Sirach 12:16-18
Common English Bible
16 Enemies speak sweetly with their lips,
but in their hearts,
they plan to throw you into a ditch.
Enemies cry tears with their eyes,
but if they find an opportunity,
they won’t be able to
get enough blood.
17 If you meet up with trouble,
you will find them there ahead of you;
and appearing to help,
they will trip you.
18 They will shake their heads
and clap their hands,
and they will whisper many things
and change their faces.
