Sirach 13:5-7
Revised Standard Version
5 If you own something, he will live with you;
he will drain your resources and he will not care.
6 When he needs you he will deceive you,
he will smile at you and give you hope.
He will speak to you kindly and say, “What do you need?”
7 He will shame you with his foods,
until he has drained you two or three times;
and finally he will deride you.
Should he see you afterwards, he will forsake you,
and shake his head at you.
