Sirach 9:9-11
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
9 Never dine with another man’s wife,
nor revel with her at wine;
lest your heart turn aside to her,
and in blood[a] you be plunged into destruction.
Choice of Friends
10 Forsake not an old friend,
for a new one does not compare with him.
A new friend is like new wine;
when it has aged you will drink it with pleasure.
11 Do not envy the honors of a sinner,
for you do not know what his end will be.
