Sirach 11:31 In-Context

29 Don't bring just anyone into your house, because deceitful people set many ambushes.

30 The hearts of arrogant people are like decoy birds in a cage; and like spies they will observe your downfall.

31 They set up ambushes and turn good into bad; they place blame on praiseworthy actions.

32 From a fire's spark come many coals, and sinful people plot and connive to shed blood.

33 Beware of evildoers, for they plan evil things, and they might bring lasting disgrace upon you.
