Sirach 27:10-12

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁰ A lion lies in wait for prey;
    so does sin for evildoers.^(A)

¹¹ The conversation of the godly is always wise,
    but the fool changes like the moon.
¹² Among stupid people limit your time,
    but among thoughtful people linger on.^(B)
