Ben Sira 27:10

10 As the lion lieth in wait for the prey, so is sin for them that work iniquity.

Ben Sira 27:10 In-Context

8 If thou followest righteousness, thou shalt obtain her, and put her on, as a glorious long robe.

9 The birds will resort unto their like; so will truth return unto them that practice in her.

10 As the lion lieth in wait for the prey, so is sin for them that work iniquity.

11 The discourse of a godly man is always with wisdom, but a fool changeth as the moon.

12 If thou be among the indiscreet, observe the time; but be continually among men of understanding.
