Ben Sira 11:31

31 For he lieth in wait, and turneth good into evil, and in things worthy of praise will lay blame upon thee.

Ben Sira 11:31 In-Context

29 Bring not every man into thine house, for the deceitful man hath many snares.
30 As a partridge taken and kept in a cage, so is the heart of the proud; and as a spy, watcheth he for thy fall.
31 For he lieth in wait, and turneth good into evil, and in things worthy of praise will lay blame upon thee.
32 Of a spark of fire a heap of coals is kindled, and a sinful man lieth in wait for blood.
33 Take heed of a mischievous man, for he worketh wickedness, lest he bring upon thee a perpetual blot.
