Wisdom of Ben Sira 12:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ An enemy utters honeyed words,
    but his heart is scheming to cast you into a pit.
The eyes of an enemy may be filled with tears,
    but if an opportunity arises, he will never have enough of your blood.
¹⁷ If misfortune overtakes you, you will find him there ahead of you,
    and, pretending to help, he will trip you up.
¹⁸ Then he will shake his head^[a] and clap his hands,
    go about whispering, and change his countenance.
