Sirach 27:22-25

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²² Whoever winks the eye plots harm,
    and those who know such a one will keep their distance.^(A)
23 In your presence their mouths are all sweetness,
    and they admire your words,
but later they will twist their speech
    and with your own words they will cause a scandal.^(B)
24 I have hated many things but them above all;
    even the Lord hates them.^(C)
25 Those who throw a stone straight up throw it on their own heads,
    and a treacherous blow opens up many wounds.
