Ben Sira 13:6

Listen to Ben Sira 13:6
6 When he needs you he will deceive you, and will smile at you and encourage you; he will speak to you kindly and say, "What do you need?"

Ben Sira 13:6 In-Context

4 A rich person will exploit you if you can be of use to him, but if you are in need he will abandon you.
5 If you own something, he will live with you; he will drain your resources without a qualm.
6 When he needs you he will deceive you, and will smile at you and encourage you; he will speak to you kindly and say, "What do you need?"
7 He will embarrass you with his delicacies, until he has drained you two or three times, and finally he will laugh at you. Should he see you afterwards, he will pass you by and shake his head at you.
8 Take care not to be led astray and humiliated when you are enjoying yourself.
