Sirach 9:11

Listen to Sirach 9:11
11 Don't envy the good reputation of sinners, since you don't know how sudden their end will be.

Sirach 9:11 In-Context

9 Don't ever sit with a married woman, and don't share meals or indulge in wine with her, since your soul might be attracted to her and you might slip into destruction because of your passion.
10 Don't abandon old friends, because newer ones are not their equals. New friends are like new wine; when wine ages, you will drink it with good cheer.
11 Don't envy the good reputation of sinners, since you don't know how sudden their end will be.
12 Don't delight in the success of the ungodly. Remember that they won't be considered righteous, even in the grave.
13 Keep far away from people who have the authority to kill, and you won't be worried by the fear of death. If you do approach them, don't make a mistake, or they might take away your life. Be aware that you are stepping among traps and that you are walking on the parapet of the city's walls.
