Sirach 11:31DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 31 of 36
"Bring not every man into thy house: for many are the snares of the deceitful."
In context
29The affliction of an hour maketh one forget great delights, and in the end of a man is the disclosing of his works.
30Praise not any man before death, for a man is known by his children.
31Bring not every man into thy house: for many are the snares of the deceitful.
32For as corrupted bowels send forth stinking breath, and as the partridge is brought into the cage, and as the roe into the snare: so also is the heart of the proud, and as a spy that looketh on the fall of his neighbour.
33For he lieth in wait and turneth good into evil, and on the elect he will lay a blot.
