Sirach 27:10DRA

8Praise not a man before he speaketh, for this is the trial of men.

9If thou followest justice, thou shalt obtain her: and shalt put her on as a long robe of honour, and thou shalt dwell with her: and she shall protect thee for ever, and in the day of acknowledgment thou shalt find a strong foundation.

10Birds resort unto their like: so truth will return to them that practise her.

11The lion always lieth in wait for prey: so do sins for them that work iniquities.

12A holy man continueth in wisdom as the sun: but a fool is changed as the moon.
