Sirach 27:22

²⁰Follow after him no more, for he is too far off; he is as a roe escaped out of the snare.

²¹As for a wound, it may be bound up; and after reviling there may be reconcilement: but he that betrayeth secrets is without hope.

— Sirach 27:22 —

²³When thou art present, he will speak sweetly, and will admire thy words: but at the last he will writhe his mouth, and slander thy sayings.

²⁴I have hated many things, but nothing like him; for the Lord will hate him.
