Sirach 11:33LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 33 of 36

"For he lieth in wait and turneth good into evil, and on the elect he will lay a blot."
Sirach 11:33

In context

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.

34Of one spark cometh a great fire, and of one deceitful man much blood: and a sinful man lieth in wait for blood.

35Take heed to thyself of a mischievous man, for he worketh evils: lest he bring upon thee reproach for ever.
