Ben Sira 27:23

23 When he's with you, his talk is so nice! He compliments you on every word you say. But behind your back it's a different story; he will take what you have said and turn it against you.

Ben Sira 27:23 In-Context

21 Wounds can be bandaged and insults can be forgiven, but if you betray a confidence, it is hopeless.

22 When someone starts winking at you, he has something bad in mind, and nothing can stop him from going through with it.

23 When he's with you, his talk is so nice! He compliments you on every word you say. But behind your back it's a different story; he will take what you have said and turn it against you.

24 There is nothing in the world that I hate as much as a person like that - and the Lord hates him too.

25 Throw a stone straight up in the air and it will come down on your head. Strike a blow, and you yourself will be wounded.
