Sirach 27:22-25

Common English Bible

²² Those who wink their eye plan evil,
    and whoever recognizes them
    will keep their distance.
²³ To your face their speech will be sweet,
    and they will express amazement
    at your words.
    But later they will distort what they said,
    and they will use your own words
    against you.
²⁴ I’ve hated many things,
but nothing compares with them.
    Even the Lord will hate them.
²⁵ Those who throw stones up high
throw them on their own heads,
    and a deceitful blow
    will open up wounds.
