Sirach 12:11
Source: Septuagint
11Though he humble himself, and go crouching, Yet take good heed and beware of him, And thou shalt be unto him as if thou hadst wiped a looking glass, And thou shalt know that his rust hath not been altogether wiped away.

9In the prosperity of a man enemies will be grieved: But in his adversity even a friend will depart.
10Never trust thine enemy: For like as iron rusteth, so is his wickedness.
— Sirach 12:11 —
12Set him not by thee, Lest, when he hath overthrown thee, he stand up in thy place; Neither let him sit at thy right hand, Lest he seek to take thy seat, And thou at the last remember my words, And be pricked therewith.
13Who will pity a charmer that is bitten with a serpent, Or any such as come nigh wild beasts?
