5 Babah 1741

Sirach 12 : 13 - 13 : 1

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.
16An enemy weepeth with his eyes: but if he find an opportunity he will not be satisfied with blood:
17And if evils come upon thee, thou shalt find him there first.
18An enemy hath tears in his eyes, and while he pretendeth to help thee, will undermine thy feet.
19He will shake his head, and clap his hands, and whisper much, and change his countenance.
1He that toucheth pitch, shall be defiled with it: and he that hath fellowship with the proud, shall put on pride.
