Ben Sira 13:9

9 If thou be invited by a mighty man, withdraw thyself, and so much the more will he invite thee.

Ben Sira 13:9 In-Context

7 And he will shame thee by his meats, until he have drawn thee dry twice or thrice, and at the last he will laugh thee to scorn; afterward when he seeth thee, he will forsake thee and shake his head at thee.
8 Beware that thou be not deceived and brought down in thy jollity.
9 If thou be invited by a mighty man, withdraw thyself, and so much the more will he invite thee.
10 Press thou not upon him, lest thou be put back; stand not far off, lest thou be forgotten.
11 Affect not to be made equal unto him in talk, and believe not his many words; for with much communication will he tempt thee, and smiling upon thee will get out thy secrets.
