Ecclesiasticus 13:11 Context
9If thou be inuited of a mighty man, withdraw thy selfe, and so much the more will he inuite thee. 10Presse thou not vpon him, lest thou be put backe, stand not farre off, lest thou be forgotten. 11Affect not to be made equall vnto him in talke, and beleeue not his many words: for with much communication will he tempt thee, and smiling vpon thee will get out thy secrets. 12But cruelly he will lay vp thy words, and will not spare to doe thee hurt, and to put thee in prison. 13Obserue and take good heed, for thou walkest in peril of thy ouerthrowing: when thou hearest these things, awake in thy sleepe.
