Ecclesiasticus 13:13-16 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

13. Be not troublesome to him, lest thou be put back: and keep not far from him, lest thou be forgotten.

14. Affect not to speak with him as an equal: and believe not his many words: for by much talk he will sift thee, and smiling will examine thee concerning thy secrets.

15. His cruel mind will lay up thy words: and he will not spare to do thee hurt, and to cast thee into prison.

16. Take heed to thyself, and attend diligently to what thou hearest: for thou walkest in danger of thy ruin.
