Ben Sira 11:29

29 Be careful about the kind of person you invite into your home, because clever people can fool you in many ways.

Ben Sira 11:29 In-Context

27 At that time our deeds are open for all to see; all our happiness can be erased in that one moment of misery.

28 So then, don't think of anyone's life as happy until it is over, because all the evidence is not in until the person is dead.

29 Be careful about the kind of person you invite into your home, because clever people can fool you in many ways.

30 A proud person is a decoy to lure you into danger; like a spy, he will look for your weaknesses.

31 He will make good appear evil and find fault with the noblest actions.
