Sirach 27:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ The lion always lieth in wait for prey: so do sins for them that work iniquities.

¹² A holy man continueth in wisdom as the sun: but a fool is changed as the moon.

¹³ In the midst of the unwise keep in the word till its time: but be continually among men that think.
