Wisdom of Ben Sira 27:9-11
New Catholic Bible
9 Birds associate with their own kind,
and honesty comes home to those who practice it.
10 As a lion lies in wait for its prey,
so does sin for those who do evil deeds.
11 The conversation of the devout is always wise,[a]
but the fool is as changeable as the moon.
