Ben Sira 27:23-30

23 When thou art present, he will speak sweetly and will admire thy words; but at the last he will writhe his mouth and slander thy sayings.
24 I have hated many things, but nothing like him; for the Lord will hate him.
25 Whoso casteth a stone on high casteth it on his own head, and a deceitful stroke shall make wounds.
26 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein, and he that setteth a trap shall be taken therein.
27 He that worketh mischief, it shall fall upon him, and he shall not know from whence it cometh.
28 Mockery and reproach are from the proud; but vengeance, as a lion, shall lie in wait for them.
29 They that rejoice at the fall of the righteous shall be taken in the snare, and anguish shall consume them before they die.
30 Malice and wrath, even these are abominations; and the sinful man shall have them both.
