Ben Sira 13:8

8 Beware that thou be not deceived and brought down in thy jollity.

Ben Sira 13:8 In-Context

6 If he have need of thee, he will deceive thee, and smile upon thee, and put thee in hope; he will speak thee fair, and say, What wantest thou?

7 And he will shame thee by his meats, until he have drawn thee dry twice or thrice, and at the last he will laugh thee to scorn; afterward when he seeth thee, he will forsake thee and shake his head at thee.

8 Beware that thou be not deceived and brought down in thy jollity.

9 If thou be invited by a mighty man, withdraw thyself, and so much the more will he invite thee.

10 Press thou not upon him, lest thou be put back; stand not far off, lest thou be forgotten.
