Ben Sira 19:9

9 for he heard and observed thee, and when time cometh he will hate thee.

Ben Sira 19:9 In-Context

7 Recount not unto another that which is told unto thee, and thou shalt fare never the worse.
8 Whether it be to friend or foe, talk not of other men's lives; and if thou canst without offense, reveal them not;
9 for he heard and observed thee, and when time cometh he will hate thee.
10 If thou hast heard a word, let it die with thee; and be bold, it will not burst thee.
11 A fool travaileth with a word, as a woman in labor with a child.
