Sirach 12:13LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 13 of 19
"Who will pity an enchanter struck by a serpent, or any that come near wild beasts? so is it with him that keepeth company with a wicked man, and is involved in his sins."
In context
11Though he humble himself and go crouching, yet take good heed and beware of him.
12Set him not by thee, neither let him sit on thy right hand, lest he turn into thy place, and seek to take thy seat: and at the last thou acknowledge my words, and be pricked with my sayings.
13Who will pity an enchanter struck by a serpent, or any that come near wild beasts? so is it with him that keepeth company with a wicked man, and is involved in his sins.
14For an hour he will abide with thee: but if thou begin to decline, he will not endure it.
15An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips, but in his heart he lieth in wait, to throw thee into a pit.
