15
He stands by you for a while, but if you falter, he will not be there.
16
An enemy speaks sweetly with his lips, but in his heart he plans to throw you into a pit; an enemy may have tears in his eyes, but if he finds an opportunity he will never have enough of your blood.
17
If evil comes upon you, you will find him there ahead of you; pretending to help, he will trip you up.
18
Then he will shake his head, and clap his hands, and whisper much, and show his true face.
