Sirach 13:6-8

Wycliffe Bible

⁶ If thou art needful to him, he shall deceive thee; and he shall flatter, and shall give hope, telling to thee all goods (or every good thing); and shall say, What is need to thee? [If thou were necessary to him, he shall beguile thee; and under laughing hope he shall give, telling to thee all goods; and shall say, What need is to thee?]

⁷ And he shall shame thee in his meats, till he annihilate or extinguish thee twice and thrice, and at the last he shall scorn thee; afterward he shall see, and shall forsake thee, and he shall move his head to (or at) thee. Be thou made meek to God, and abide thou his hands.

⁸ Take heed, lest thou be deceived, and be made low in folly. Do not thou be low in thy wisdom, lest thou be made low, and be deceived into folly.
