Ben Sira 13:7

Listen to Ben Sira 13:7
7 He will shame you with his foods, until he has drained you two or three times; and finally he will deride you. Should he see you afterwards, he will forsake you, and shake his head at you.

Ben Sira 13:7 In-Context

5 If you own something, he will live with you; he will drain your resources and he will not care.
6 When he needs you he will deceive you, he will smile at you and give you hope. He will speak to you kindly and say, "What do you need?"
7 He will shame you with his foods, until he has drained you two or three times; and finally he will deride you. Should he see you afterwards, he will forsake you, and shake his head at you.
8 Take care not to be led astray, and not to be humiliated in your feasting.
9 When a powerful man invites you, be reserved; and he will invite you the more often.
