Wisdom of Ben Sira 13:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ When he needs you he will deceive you
    and will smile at you and raise your hopes.
He will speak kindly to you
    and ask, “Is there anything you need?”
⁷ He will embarrass you with his hospitality,
    but after he has drained your resources two or three times
    he will end up by laughing at you.
Afterward, when he sees you, he will pass you by
    and shake his head about you.
⁸ Take care not to be led astray
    and humiliated as a result of your own stupidity.
