In context
13Who will pity a charmer that is bitten with a serpent, Or any such as come nigh wild beasts?
14So one that goeth to a sinner, And is defiled with him in his sins, who will pity?
— Sirach 12:15 —
16An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips, But in his heart he imagineth how to throw thee into a pit: He will weep with his eyes, But if he find opportunity, he will not be satisfied with blood.
17If adversity come upon thee, thou shalt find him there first; And though he pretend to help thee, yet shall he undermine thee.
