Sirach 27:10-12

Good News Translation

¹⁰ Sin waits for those looking for a chance to sin, just as a lion waits for prey.

Foolish Talk

¹¹ When devout people talk, what they say always makes sense, but foolish people are always contradicting themselves. ¹² When you find yourself with stupid people, look for some excuse to leave, but when you are with serious-minded people, stay as long as you can.
